Too many times, when our hearts and minds are troubled, instead of looking to Jesus and trusting in His promises, we look to ourselves and trust in our own abilities, reasoning, and understanding. And when we don’t find peace, comfort, or encouragement, we wonder what’s wrong. What’s wrong is that we are looking at and trusting in the wrong things. We should constantly celebrate, rejoice in, and remind ourselves of the promises of God to us in Christ. For the promises of God, found in Scripture, are an anchor of hope and assurance in the midst of life's uncertainties.
