“I do not accept human praise; moreover, I know that you do not have the love of God in you. I came in the name of my Father, but you do not accept me; yet if another comes in his own name, you will accept him. How can you believe, when you accept praise from one another and do not seek the praise that comes from the only God? Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father: the one who will accuse you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope. For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me, because he wrote about me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
Keeping our faith and trust alive in God can be very difficult in the secular world we live in and many times, we feel as if He has abandoned us. However, as this passage tells, that is not the case. God always has a plan to each and every one of us. Even if you go through harsh situations and carry heavy burdens, believe and trust that God is and forever will be there for you. He does not put us through things without reason and He will always take care of us. I've personally been through low points of my life where I felt that what God put me through was completely unfair and unnecessary but now as I reflect back to those times, I realize why I had to have those experiences in order to made myself a better person. Unfortunately, we do experiences horrible things because sin exists in the world but keep in mind that God will never put us through things that we cannot handle. Remember that as the passage states, God's love is even stronger than that of a mother. He will never forget us or stop loving us.
Challenge:
Take time today to think about and reflect on what you think God is calling you to do. Pray about your worries and anxieties for the future and ask God to help you through them. If you are currently battling anything in your life and have a hard time seeing a good outcome, know that God is with you and understands what you are going through. Also, if you see anyone around you that has hit a low point, try to comfort them and let them know that God is with them and has not forgotten them.
