Trouble
God never says we won't face difficulties or troubles in our lives.
In fact, He tells us in no uncertain terms that we WILL. (John 16.33)
BUT...

But It's Just So... OLD!
For many years the Old Testament seemed ... well, OLD. Irrelevant.
To my thinking - that was just the history of the Jewish peoples. Except for being the culture and belief from which Jesus emerged - what did it have to do with Christianity? With me?
It wasn't until recently that I was able to finally see it with new eyes. To step back and appreciate the full picture.
You see, this isn't just a history of a people. It's the story of so much more.
As we read the Old Testament, we can find the promise of Jesus all over it. God tells us again and again how he plans to bring salvation. To renew His people. To restore us.
The Old Testament is a promise. The promise of God's love, mercy, and grace which would be completed with the New Testament.
With Jesus.

Always the Same
God is always faithful. Always.
He always keeps His promises.
He is always loving.
Our rock and our refuge.
As long as we trust in Him and keep to His ways there is no need for fear, worry, concern, or stress.
He will guide us and protect us.
He will instruct us.
He will give us peace.

God With Us
God promises again and again - He will always be with us.
He will give us strength and courage.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; don't be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" ~ Joshua 1:9
He will tell us what to say and help us say it.
"Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say." ~ Exodus 4:12
He will teach us.
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you" ~ Psalm 32:8
He will provide for us.
"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 4:19
He will never leave us.
"No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you, I will never leave you or forsake you" ~ Joshua 1:5
He will protect us.
"The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?" ~ Psalm 27: 1
The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?" ~ Psalm 27: 1
He will always be there. When friends leave us. When family can't be nearby. God is always there.
