MORNING MANNA 12-10-21
GOD NEVER FAILS
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.” – Psalm 37:23-26
David certainly lived an eventful life. Again and again he saw God at work to fulfill the promises He had made. Yet God’s goodness and His faithfulness did not mean things were easy. Looking back after many years, David could see how even when things had been at their very worst, God had still been there to help him. In his autobiography describing the miraculous ways God had provided for the orphans under his care, George Müller wrote, “The Lord in His faithfulness helped us. Help was never more truly needed, nor did the help of the Lord ever come more obviously from Himself—His timing could not have been better. Praise the Lord for His goodness! Praise Him that He helped us trust in Him in this trying hour.”
No Christian has ever been abandoned by God. Every Christian goes through trials and difficulties. But those are not in any way evidence that God has failed us or broken His promises. God never forsakes His children. He knows all that is coming before it happens, and nothing touches our lives that has not first passed through His hands. God’s plans for us often can only be understood when we are able to look back on what happened. But no matter whether it is what we would call a good day or a bad day, we can and should trust Him. God was just as faithful to David when he was running for his life as He was when David was defeating Goliath. He never fails to give us what He knows is best. No matter what today may bring, God is in control and He will never let you down. (Daily in the Word)
