Do you occasionally doubt that you are loved? Does doubt

about uncertainties cause anxiety? We all wonder by the

circumstances we face sometimes if God does really love

us. We all wonder about uncertainties about the future.

The Scripture tells us to be anxious for nothing, but by

prayer and supplication, let your requests be made known

to God. God's redemption plan to save us from our sins by

our belief in Him continues after our salvation. He wants

to rescue us from additional trials and troubles that we

will face. If we are faithful in the test that He allows,

we will find the reward that He has prepared for us.

Your adversary, who prowls about like a lion, looks for

whom he may devour. His tools of doubt and discouragement

cause many that are unwary of his methods to become sad

and despondent over difficult circumstances. But you can

raise your Shield of Faith against those darts of doubt,

and your Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God,

against that old liar, the Devil, (the Scripture tells

us he was a liar from the beginning) and he will flee.

Old sailors will tell you that smooth sailing over

smooth seas does not make one a good sailor. It is the

rough sea, the dangerous, and perilous sea that teaches

one to navigate through the difficulties. Let us not be

shipwrecked in our faith as some have become.

Let us remember who loves us with an everlasting love.

God's name is Jehová Yeshua. Jehová is the Lord in

control of all. Paul said, "The life I live in the flesh

I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and

gave Himself for me". It is a personal love that He

has for you and me. Lift your hands to Him and

Praise Him today for His love for you today!
