Infallible God vs. fallible me



Are you like me?
Do you have financial difficulties that leave you stressed to the point of breaking?
People say they pray for you and send Bible verses to help you. Do any of these seem familiar? 

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? (NJKV)

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (NKJV)

1 Peter 5:7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (NKJV)

Are you like me?
Do you fight against illness and depression?
People say they pray for you and send Bible verses to help you. Do any of these look familiar?

Deuteronomy 31:8 "And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed." (NKJV)

Psalm 34:17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of their troubles. (NKJV)

Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. (NKJV)

Are you like me?
Do you find yourself in the midst of loneliness? Do you long for friendship and fellowship?
People say they pray for you and send you Bible verses to help you. Do any of these seem familiar?

Psalm 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. (NKJV)

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. (NKJV)

Matthew 28:20b "...and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. (NKJV)

Are you like me?
Are you a fallible human trusting in the Infallible God?
Proverbs 3:5 says "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding". (NKJV)
Psalm 73:26 reminds us that our flesh and our hearts fail, but God is the strength of our hearts, and is with us forever.

It is hard to trust and to keep going when we cannot see the end of our troubles. But God, in His infinite wisdom, has a plan for our victories and trials. We do not see or understand them, but they will be used to glorify His name and bring others to Christ.

We must remain steadfast in our faith.
Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful."

Things may look bleak, but we are not alone.
Our Perfect God loves His imperfect children.
