2 Corinthians 1:12 (ESV)
For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience,
that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by
earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.
Regardless of your circumstances and how you feel, hang on
to God’s unchanging character.
2 Corinthians 1:12 says, “Now that the worst is over, we're
pleased we can report that we've come out of this with conscience and faith intact,
and can face the world — and even more importantly, face you with our heads
held high. But it wasn't by any fancy footwork on our part. It was God who kept
us focused on him, uncompromised.”
Your circumstances cannot change the character of God. God’s
grace is still in full force; he is still for you, even when you don’t feel it.
Remind yourself what you know to be eternally true about
God: He is good, he loves you, he is with you, he knows what you’re going
through, he cares, and he has a good plan for your life.
Raymond Edman, one of Billy Graham’s mentors, once said,
“Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light.”
So, what has God told you in the light that you now doubt
in the dark? Why do you think you doubt God now? Remember, your circumstances
cannot change the character of God.
Dear Lord, help us to never doubt what You have shown us.
Help us to be faithful to what You have taught us. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
