God's Faithfulness in IsolationSample

Trusting God Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (v. 8) During the pandemic, news stories and expert interviews were very inconsistent from day to day. It’s difficult to trust the news when yesterday’s story is being modified today. One begins to expect that a news story today will be changed or significantly updated tomorrow. It becomes very difficult to find consistent trustworthy news resources. Today’s reading speaks of the consistency of Jesus Christ. This Scripture encourages trust by reminding us of Jesus’s presence and help yesterday and today, which encourages faith for tomorrow. Other verses in this chapter of Hebrews speak of the supportive characteristics of the Lord. Verse 5 shares that the Lord said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you”. Verse 6 shares that the Lord is my helper. As I read on-line news, I think of the Lord my helper. And I have faith that He is with me and will be with me through whatever happens in the future. This Scripture reminds me of the enduring comfort and support of Jesus Christ that I have experienced over the years. Thinking of how Jesus Christ has been consistently a source of peace and care in the past helps me trust in the peace and care he will provide in the future. The unchanging love of Jesus Christ is a source of faith, strength and courage today. Because of the enduring support of Jesus Christ, I trust for his healing presence today and in the future. In the midst of unpredictable current events, I think about these attributes of Jesus Christ and feel a sense of hope. As you pray , ask God to build faith, hope and trust in Jesus Christ within you, your family, and your friends.
