IF GOD WROTE YOU A LETTER
I was loyal to Israel, and I will be dependable for you. Just as I faithfully provided for Israel, I will do the same for you. Don’t be surprised when I come through. In fact, I want you to begin to anticipate it. Look to me with high expectations. Step out in faith and wait for me to provide as I lead you today.
I know your pain and what fears you hang onto. I am aware of your challenges and those amongst your friends and family. Bring those concerns to me—leave nothing behind. I want you to have faith. I want you to trust me so that you can rest in me. Don’t rest only because I will supply what is needed. Rest because of my character. Rest because I am trustworthy. Rest because you recognize I am your best answer. Rest because you are aware that I love you and am with you.
