There is one thing I am certain is true: we all have to live in the reality of the unexpected. None of us truly knows what tomorrow promises, what today may produce, what new challenges or new opportunities might appear.

• Do you know anyone who went to the doctor’s office when they were not feeling well, only to learn they have cancer invading their body?
• Do you know anyone who went to work on a Friday, only to find out that they have been fired from their job?
• Do you know anyone whose child was killed by the local police?

Life is filled with so many uncertainties. So how do we kick-start our day with assurance and confidence? For those individuals who are followers of Jesus Christ, the answer is by FAITH.

Faith means being sure about the things we hope for and knowing that something is real, even if we do not see it. In other words, when you come across an unforeseen situation, do not panic. Jesus will be there for you. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and have faith that the Holy Spirit will provide the solution, giving you wisdom at the time of your uncertainty.

Today, I want you to be strong and courageous. Walk with confidence because God’s mercies will never end; they are new every morning. When you least expect it, by faith, doors will open, and by faith, your breakthrough will come. Everything you have waited for will be here. Therefore, abide in and abandon yourself in God’s faithfulness!

Do not be afraid, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. He promises to be a lamp for your feet. If you live by faith and not by sight, I promise everything will be all right. If you fear the present, look back and see how God took care of you in the past. In fact,

People may do you wrong, but God will be your defender. Situations may look impossible, but the impossible is very possible with God.

God will never turn His heart away from you! He is closer to you than you think. Always remember, God’s plan is the master plan and you can cast your cares upon Him for He is good and His love is faithful!
