…for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.
2 Timothy 1:12 (NKJV)
Life does not always go the way we plan. Sometimes following Jesus brings us into tough situations. We experience pain, loss, rejection, or moments where we wonder whether following Jesus is worth the effort. This begs the question of whether our faith in God is unshaken.
I Know Whom I Have Believed In
Paul wrote his second letter to Timothy while in prison. He had been beaten, betrayed, and was now facing the possibility of death. Nevertheless, he was not bitter, afraid, or even ashamed of his decision to follow Jesus.
The secret was that Paul did not just believe in ideas about God. Indeed, he prioritized a relationship with God. Paul had walked with God, talked with Him, and seen His faithfulness again and again. So even though life was hard, Paul had this deep peace that surpasses human understanding.
Unshaken Faith
That is what happens when you give your life, dreams, worries, and everything to Jesus. You can trust that He will not let it fall apart. He will guard it and carry you through life’s uncertainties because He is reliable. You don’t have to have everything figured out.
Is there something you have been trying to carry on your own, for example, your future, your fears, your family, or your calling? Are you persuaded that you have made the right decision for eternity? Trust Jesus because He will not let you down.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I may not understand everything I’m going through, but I trust You. I know You are faithful, and I believe You will take care of everything I have given to You.
