What Comfort Does Faith Provide in Uncertain Times?

Whenever the issue of discovering one’s place in life surfaces, it’s directly related to finding happiness and contentment. While a career brings notable fulfillment for both men and women, there remains a deep-seated longing to share one’s life with a spouse and children.

This need is for authentic relationships with a spouse and children, and also with the extended family and friends, which should not be ignored. Loneliness or even despair gravitates into the emptiness of life. Another important need is for spiritual fulfillment that can  be satisfied only in relationship with Jesus Christ.

God was not willing for Abraham to stay in one place. Abraham faced great uncertainties at times, so God gave him this promise: “Don’t be afraid, for I am your shield; I am your great reward.” 

Having Jesus Christ to love and trust as you go forward brings confidence, hope, and certainty.

For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written, “The righteous will live by faith.”  

~Romans I:17 New International Version
