Topic: TRUSTING GOD FOR THE FUTURE
Text: Read: 2 Kings 7:1, 3-7, 15
Daily Bible Study: Lev. 24-25; Mk. 1
“…Tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel…” (2 Kgs. 7:1).
When Benhadad king of Syria besieged Samaria, they ran out of food after many days and there was a “great famine” in the land. Cornered by difficult conditions, the King blamed Prophet Elisha. But Elisha was not afraid; rather, he demonstrated his confidence in God and prophesied what would happen the next day.
This is the kind of confidence we all need to have in God and avoid worrying about the economy, relationships, health, and other events in the world. The Bible teaches that God already knows the future. If we trust in Him, we will have peace. He is always ready to take away our burdens, meet our needs, and direct our steps. Confidence in God is available to all who know Him intimately and trust Him. In the midst of any situation, He offers His peace and wisdom.
Commit your needs to God today, no matter how serious they might seem, or how helpless you might feel. Don’t be besieged with worry, doubt or fear. Seek to know God more by studying and researching into His word with faith and more intensity. You need to know God before you can believe in Him and you need to believe in Him before you can trust Him. And when you trust Him, your future is secured.
Prayer: Oh Lord our God, the Owner and Creator of all things, hallowed be Your name. Help us to know You, believe in You and fully trust in You. We pray in Jesus’ name – Amen.
