“This is what the Lord says to His anointed, to Cyrus whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him, and I will ungird the loins of kings, disarming them; to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut: I will go before you and level the mountains; I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness, the hoarded treasures and the hidden riches of secret places; so that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name. For the sake of Jacob My servant, and of Israel My chosen, I have also called you by your name; I have given you an honorable name though you have not known Me. I am the Lord, and there is no one else; there is no God except Me. I will embrace and arm you, though you have not known Me, that people may know from the rising to the setting of the sun, the world over that there is no one except Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, the One forming light and creating darkness, causing peace and creating disaster; I am the Lord who does all these things.” Isaiah 45:1-7

The God we have goes ahead of us in all things and at all times not behind; He goes ahead of us to engage our enemies on our behalf, shielding us from their powers and defending us against all of their wickedness and fighting our fierce battles for us, He goes ahead leading us to the place of our destiny and the place of us destined comfort and peace from the front; He sees all thing ahead of us before we see them or experience them. Jesus Christ did not only tell us how to live the Christian life, He showed us the example by first living it; He did not only show us the ways to heaven he went their first and promised to take us there. “Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe confidently in God and trust in Him, have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and I will take you to Myself so that where I am you may be also. And to the place where I am going, you know the way.” John 14:1-4

God’s words had been tested to be true and His promises had been confirmed to be fulfilled in the lives of others. His words and His promises will not fail in our lives also. When people are our source for value and truth, we often end up disappointed and hurt when we believe what they say over what God says we end up in despair and dismayed by their action and be deeply discouraged. Know that God cannot lie irrespective of the situation and the feelings and the daily evil and wicked confrontations we experience as Christians and the disappointments we see all around us in failing human promises and declining goodness and lack of true empathy in the ways men act in all situations. Our God is truth in all His ways and in all His promises, He will promise what He will not do and He will not promise and change His mind concerning you because of your changing or challenging circumstances. His perspective is never skewed, they are not obscured, and they are not limited. He cannot be forced to deceive you or to change His words, His mind, His purpose, and His plans concerning you. It is a big relief to know that no one, no person or demons from hell, or angel, not even our parents can coax the mind of the One who made you, who loved you, who snatched you away from the hands of Satan, who save your soul from destruction, who forgives all of your sins, who washed you clean inside and outside, and who had purposely and diligently planned your destiny and is leading into it daily. Do not look to people as the source of things you need, do not look to people as your source of happiness and praise, look unto God and trust in Him and in His ways for all of your physical and spiritual needs, He can do it and He will do it, only God can supply all of our needs without demanding a payback in any form.
