God's Glory Church

Maybe it’s a dream you’re holding on to or a promise you’ve been made. Perhaps you are waiting for a person to change or a situation to change. Perhaps you are waiting for an answer to prayer, hoping to come, joy to replace sadness, or clarity and hope to replace confusion and chaos.

In the midst of pain, loss, and suffering, it can be difficult to hold on patiently to the One who promises to come for us.

Isaiah was a prophet to the leaders of Judah in a time of national corruption and spiritual poverty. He foretold that his people would be driven into exile because they trusted in idols, political rulers, and other fleeting things.

But Isaiah also reminded the people that God is sovereign, God will bring them out of exile, and that one day God will send a savior to save them forever.

Isaiah did not live to see all of his prophecies fulfilled, but he kept the hope he prophesied about, and his words to the nation of Israel can continue to encourage us today…

Trust the Lord, even when circumstances don’t make sense.
Trust the Lord even when you suffer.
Trust in the Lord even when your heart breaks.
Whatever happens, trust in the Lord.

Seasons may change, situations may change, people may leave or betray you, but the one who remains constant throughout history is God over history. The Lord is unchanging and indestructible. Nothing can stand against Him or overcome Him.

He knows what it’s like to suffer because He suffered for us. And so we can trust God because He keeps His promises—and He has promised to fight for us, never leave us, make a way for us, love us, protect us, and be faithful to us.

Because God is our salvation, we can trust Him and not be afraid.

So, no matter what happens, let’s choose to trust in the Lord.
