I WILL TAKE CARE
The Lord replied,
“I will take care of you, Jeremiah.
Your enemies will ask you to plead on their behalf
in times of trouble and distress.”
Jeremiah 15:11 (NLT)
In life, we face daily decisions about where to place our trust. Circumstances can change, people may fail us, and our own strength may not be enough. However, God gives us a clear promise: He will take care of us.
1. I Can Trust Myself, but My Strength Is Limited
Sometimes, we believe we can handle everything on our own, relying on our skills and resources. However, our abilities have limits, and sooner or later, we will face situations where we need help.
2. I Can Trust Others, but People Change
The influence and support of others can be valuable, but people are not always reliable. Friendships can change, relationships can grow cold, and the stability we enjoy today may disappear tomorrow.
3. I Can Trust God, Because He Never Fails
God is the only unfailing source of peace and security. No matter what happens around us, His love and faithfulness remain constant. He is:
- My strong rock
- My hiding place
- My refuge
- My shepherd
- My provider
- My healer
- My counselor
- My savior
4. God Takes Care of Me at All Times
- Will there be times of trouble and hardship? Yes, but God will take care of me.
- Will there be economic turmoil? Yes, but God will take care of me.
- Will there be political instability? Yes, but God will take care of me.
- Will some people abandon me? Yes, but God will take care of me.
People change, but God does not change.
The economy may fail, but God never fails.
My emotions may be unstable, but God is always the same, and He will take care of me.
The Lord replied,
“I will take care of you, Jeremiah.
Your enemies will ask you to plead on their behalf
in times of trouble and distress.”
Jeremiah 15:11 (NLT)
Think About It:
- Where have you placed your trust lately? In your abilities, in other people, or in God?
- What areas of your life do you need to surrender completely to God and rest in His care?
- How can you remind yourself of this promise—that God will take care of you—during moments of uncertainty?
