Sure Thing!

Isaiah 26:4

Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.

Once again I need to refer to the Message Bible for today’s verse. “Depend on GOD and keep at it because in the LORD GOD you have a sure thing” (Isaiah 26:4). It is those last five words, ‘you have a sure thing’ that caught my eye. How many things in life can you be sure are a sure thing? We usually always laugh and say, “The only two things sure in life are death and taxes.”

I know there are lots of people that wish they had the sure bet, or the lotto numbers, or even just knowing what tomorrow will bring. That is not what God is promising you. What He is promising you is to be there every single step you take. He is promising not to leave you, nor forsake you. He is promising peace, strength, and wisdom as you need it.

Life is not and will not be easy. Searching for the next sure thing here on Earth will only give you temporary satisfaction if you catch it. I want eternal peace and happiness. I think I am going to bank my sure thing on God.

Lord, You are the only sure thing I can count on in life. Thank you for always being my Rock. ~amen
