“At this hour…we rest in the promises of our faithful God, knowing that His Words are truth and power. We rest in the doctrines of His Word, which are true comfort. We rest in the covenant of His grace, which is a haven of delight.” C. Spurgeon

I wish we could say that all the chaos, civil unrest, wars, and injustice across the globe was going to get better…but it’s not. And the future is as uncertain as it is scary. But in this quote of Theologian Charles Spurgeon, he wants us to go back to what we do know. Psalm 145:13 tells us that, “The Lord is faithful to all His promises.” And so we can rely on God’s steadfast promises and find refuge there. Next, Hebrews 1:3 tells us that, “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful Word.” The Word of God is divinely authoritative, accurate, and honest…and God is always in control…thus we can rest in His Word as absolute truth. But we can also trust in God’s unchanging doctrines, principals, and teachings found in the Bible. Finally, we can depend on God’s unwavering grace…His unearned & unmerited favor guaranteed by His new Covenant. (Jeremiah 31:31-34, requoted in Hebrews 8:8-12)
