Beloved: grace, mercy and peace be yours from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. I am glad to welcome you to another week of the month of October 2025.
I pray that God, as we begin the new week, will take care of any burden that may be weighing you down and comfort you wherever you are hurting, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Now while it is true that God is able to take care of all our burdens and comfort us, it is also important that we do not throw away our confidence in Him because of whatever we may be going through.
See, that God is handling our situation does not mean that we will experience relief immediately. We may not experience relief immediately. But if we will not throw away our confidence in Him, we will surely experience perfect liberty from whatever Satan is trying to use to destroy us.For example, when God sent Moses to Egypt to set the Israelites free, they did not immediately experience relief.
On the contrary, Pharaoh made things worse for them. In fact, even Moses had to go back to God and say:“O Lord, why have you brought trouble upon this people? Is this why you sent me? Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble upon this people, and you have not rescued your people at all.” (Ex 5:22-23NIV)
But was God really not doing anything to rescue the Israelites? No! He was already working for their deliverance. However, Moses and the people would need to patiently keep on trusting Him in order for them to enjoy the full benefits of all that He was doing to save them. And did they do that? They did. So, they were eventually delivered from Egypt and led to the Land of Promise.
In like manner, we too will need to patiently keep on trusting God in order to experience the full benefits of all that He is doing to perfect all that concerns our lives. So, the bible says this to us: “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.” (Heb 10:35-36NIV)
Did you see that? First, we are told not to throw away our confidence in God. Why? It will be richly rewarded. In other words, God will never fail those who never throw away their confidence in Him. Second, we are told to persevere in doing the will of God in the face of life’s trials.
In other words, we are not to give up praying, meditating on the word of God, speaking the word of God to our challenges and walking in righteousness. Why? That is the only way for us to receive the fulfilment of the will of God in our lives.Now the challenges we are facing may give us the impression that it is useless for us to continue to pray and to act on the word of God, especially if things are getting worse for us instead of getting better. But the word of God already tells us that those who will not throw away their confidence in God will not be put to shame.
So, keep on praying and keep on acting on the word of God. And when the time is ripe, you will reap a great harvest of His goodness and salvation in your life.
Have a lovely week.
