"For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. They continue this day according to thine ordinances:
for all are thy servants." --Psalm 119:89-91
One of my favorite Bible verses is Ecclesiastes 3:14, "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him." There is much uncertainty in this world. We never know from one day to the next whether we will be in a car accident, if there will be another mass shooting, or if some struggle in the Middle East will explode. But there is one thing that we do know, Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is our Rock of Ages.
Hebrews says, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: they shall perish; but Thou remainest; and they all shall wax old like a garment; and as a vesture shalt Thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but Thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail." God is dependable; He is always there for us, no matter how the world falls apart.
No one can stop God from fulfilling His plan in your life. Trust Him, and do not worry; His plan for you is good. Corrie ten Boom, a survivor of Ravensbruck concentration camp, would often hold up the back side of an embroidery to audiences. She explained that while we sometimes may only see what looks like a tangled mess in our lives, God can see the beautiful side of the embroidery all the time. Someday we will be able to see everything beautiful from His vantage too, and we will thank Him seeing us through every trial. Trust Him; He is faithful.
