Trust God. Even Now.

He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong.” Mark 12:27 ESV

God lives. He’s not a dead idol carved out of wood or stone, covered with gold or silver. He’s not a far off ethereal substance that never existed, so there’s no further interaction with the universe.

No. Instead, God is alive. He exists in three persons. He’s the creator and sustainer of all things. He is outside of time (transcendent) and is within time (immanent). And through Him, man received His breath of life.

And because of God’s unique nature, He is involved in our lives. He changes the course of history. He advances His Kingdom. And yes, He affects us. Deeply. Personally. Eternally.

So when we worry about the immediate, we forget about His attributes, His nature, His love for us. We fail to grasp that He is for us, that He knows the outcome of where we are in life, and that has already worked even these things for His glory.

Don’t miss this. God is the God of the living. He is alive. He is active. He is changing you to be more like His Son. No matter what you are feeling, thinking, and struggling with, He is here, present, ready to walk with you as you face whatever challenge is before you.

Trust God. Even Now.
