Trusting God
“God is my savior; I will trust him and not be afraid. The Lord gives me power and strength; he is my savior.”
- Isaiah 12:2
The book of Isaiah is filled with gloom and doom. Israel had not been faithful to the Lord God and their covenant with Him. They were worshipping and serving other gods and social injustice was rampant. As a result, God was going to bring foreign armies against the nation of Israel to destroy the nation and carry of its people. The picture Isaiah painted was bleak. But then, we find this ray of light in Isaiah 12:2.
Even amid the bleak future Israel faced and the disaster to come, Isaiah trusted in the Lord, and he expressed his confidence in the Lord’s salvation.
Such an expression of faith is easy to make when circumstances around us are good. But what do we do when life gets hard; When God feels distant, relationships are struggling, or circumstances are just too difficult? Does confidence in the Lord’s provision evaporate? Do we question His faithfulness? Or do we stand firm, trusting the Lord will see us through it? Are we steadfast in our faith?
When we are fearful, it can be an opportunity to learn God is always faithful. When we are struggling, it can serve as a reminder of God’s strength. Isaiah’s trusted God: he was not afraid.
God will enable us to endure, and as believers, we can have confidence He loves us more than we could truly comprehend. And even though we may not be able to see how He is working or fathom how our situation could improve, He is absolutely in control. He is our savior and our salvation when life is both good and when it is a struggle.

Lord Jesus, remind me that You are my strength and my defense, that I can trust You when life gets hard. You are my salvation, and I need only remember Your love for me. Thank You for your grace, compassion, and never-ending faithfulness. Amen.
