WEEK 1
DAY 2- THE NAME OF GOD
Scripture: Proverbs 18:10
Jesus is our strong tower, protector, refuge, strength, and our source of peace and safety. This is some- thing we cannot find in anything or anywhere from the world. In these past few years, you may have heard the phrase “uncertain times” more than once, and that can be a troubling phrase for us. Uncertain times can cause all sorts of emotions because it means we might not have walked that road before or cannot predict what is happening. However, if we look to the truth found in Proverbs 18:10, we see that God has given us the promise that in these very times, He is our strong tower and the One we should be running towards instead of maybe trying to change our circumstances.
Security can’t be found in circumstances. Circumstances can change. They can take us by surprise. But God, our fortress, our strong tower, never changes, and nothing ever catches Him by surprise. No other person, and nothing else on this earth, can bring us the peace and safety that He can . . . and does . . . and will. So, as we step into another year, no matter what you experience, no matter how uncertain the times may be, you can be certain of this: Your help comes from the Lord your God. So let’s run to Him and stand firm in Him and live in the certainty of His love and provision for us.
REFLECTION PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your faithfulness and unconditional love for us. Thank You for Your open arms holding us tight and being our safe place in the midst of any uncertain times. Help us to always run to You, to keep our eyes fixed on You, and to never forget Your promises. Convict us when our time and energy is spent on anything other than something that brings glory to Your name. Guide us on our individual paths to remember You are always here regardless of how uncertain the journey or times seem.
In Your precious and holy name, amen
