For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” 2 Tim 1:12.
We often hear Christians say, “What would I do without the Lord?” That is a good question!! Human emotions are up and down. Life has it’s up’s and down’s. Our physical conditions are up and down. Aren’t you glad that our Savior is ever faithful? Aren’t you glad that your salvation is secure in HIm? That security is not in my good deeds, not in another religious human, but in Christ and in Christ alone. Paul says he KNOWS in whom he has believed and that he will keep Him until the day he is in heaven. God is truly our anchor! I think one of the key words in the verse above is KNOW. Paul knew because he personally had experienced the presence and the comfort of God. You and I have the same promise from the Word of God. Amidst the cares of this life, and its “up’s” and “down’s”, we can rejoice the more in the Lord. And, may the Lord help us to be ever-abiding, ever-relying on Him! Truly, He can give a peace that passes all understanding!
