Confidence In The Lord

"And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you."  II Thessalonians 3:4.  Most everything with which we are familiar is unstable.  Very few things deserve our confidence.  People are so changeable and not always dependable.  However, the Lord can be trusted.  We can place utmost confidence in Him.  God does not change.  God does not lie.  God has the power to perform all things.  God is faithful to all who place their confidence in Him.  God wills that we always do what is right.  Safe guidelines have been given to us.  God knows the past and God knows the future.  This is the reason that we should heed what He says and follow the directions that He has given unto us.  As His people, we are to follow Him and listen to Him.  We are to conform our lives to the directives which have been given unto us by Him.  These instructions for life will make our life worthwhile and will insure our eternity.  We can live with purpose and fulfillment.  We can take our steps into the uncertain future without fear and without regret.
