Can we be certain of anything? That is a good question, especially this year. 2020 seemed to begin as most new years do, with hopeful planning for new adventures as family or at work or in retirement or travel or whatever. Plans came to abrupt and uncertain stops as each month brought unusual stress with unusual changes to most of life as we ‘know’ it. Where can we find assurance?
Surety relates to the idea of being reliable, accepting responsibility, a guarantee, a pledge or promise, being sure of something or someone, collateral. In this world, that seems to be an oxymoron and nearly impossible.
In our spiritual life, God’s promises are sincere and true and unbreakable. He alone is our assurance. He alone is reliable. He alone has already provided the collateral needed for our security. Even with moment by moment changes in any day, He is unchangeable. When the our boat is rocked, He steadies us. If our ‘plans’ must stop or be adjusted, He guarantees a better outcome with His plan.
He alone is provides surety in our life. Stand firm. Trust in Him Alone.
