In Good Hands

"If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
If we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
If we are faithless,
he will remain faithful
for he cannot disown himself"
2 Timothy 2:11-13


To be faithful is sometimes hard these days. There are so many things that get in the way of our faith in God that it's rediculous. Things like your future are hard to trust to anyone, and then you learn that it's entirely up to God. This should be a comforting realization, but more times than not it lights a little fire under your bum and sparks a panic. "How do I know what God wants me to do?", "Am I praying hard enough?", "What if he wants me to go to York?! I don't want to go to York!" are all phrases that started to spin out of control in my head, and to be completely honest...they're still there. However, It's pretty comforting to know that God does not abandon us even when we don't have complete faith. Sometimes that closeness you felt with God while worshipping in church isn't as present as you'd like it to be and it feels like God has abandoned you. It is important to remember though, that as long as He lives within us, He will never leave us. God has faith even in the times that we don't. Pretty good to know you're in good hands, eh?
