God must be the source of our strength. On our own, life is too hard. We get tired. We give up. We fail. But when we trust in him, are able to keep going. Our strength is renewed. What we cannot face on our own, we endure because our strength comes from him.
We can trust in God because of his unchanging faithfulness. God was perfect. He is perfect. He will always be perfect. This is why we build our life upon him and his promises.
Do we really trust Jesus with everything? Do we trust in him to provide for our future? Do we trust him to protect us when we take risks on his behalf? When the rubber meets the road, do we trust him more than our fears?
The oceans move with the tides. Mountains are worn down by erosion. Even the stars will eventually burn out. But God remains the same. We can always count on him.
No matter how powerful our opponent, God’s love is stronger. No matter how tall the obstacle, God’s love is higher. There is nothing that can separate us from the love we have received in Christ Jesus.
In every act of God, we find that He does not have two personalities, but one unified nature. He is both good and great all the time.
We should learn to live our lives the way we build sand castles. We should put in our work and do our best, but we should live with the knowledge that this all temporary.
Just because an ingredient doesn’t taste good on its own, doesn’t mean it won’t contribute to something wonderful in the end.
