Last week in the midst of my anxieties, and through what some of my friends were dealing with in their lives, I was reminded of this verse, 1 Corinthians 10:13. This is The Message version, which I don't always care for, but this one was exactly what I needed to be reminded of.
No matter what we face, God is in control. He always takes care of us and is always with us. The situations he gives us that are hard are put in our lives intentionally to help us grow. But no matter what, He always provides us a way out. Sometimes the escape is disguised or hidden, or it is through a situation we weren't expecting, but He will always gives us help in the moment we need it. And above all else, He never leaves our side.
Everything that we face has been faced before, and God will always provide. We need to spend more time trusting that God will take care of us and less time worrying.
So often in life it is best to avoid words like "always" and "never" because they are big generalizations that can sometimes get us into trouble. However, with God, I love that I can trust him to always be there to help me and he'll never let me down. Those are always and nevers that I can get in on! I'm thankful for these absolute promises of God!
