BEEN LET DOWN? READ THIS…
When I am hurt, disappointed or let down by people, I read these scriptures and realize I am in good company and God is for me. I love the comments that are made about how he is dealing with the wrong done him, after the problem is mentioned:
2 Timothy 4:10
10 For Demas has deserted me for love of this present world and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens [has gone] to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
11 Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very helpful to me for the ministry.
12 Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13[When] you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, also the books, especially the parchments.
14 Alexander the coppersmith did me great wrongs. The Lord will pay him back for his actions.
15 Beware of him yourself, for he opposed and resisted our message very strongly and exceedingly.
16 At my first trial no one acted in my defense [as my advocate] or took my part or [even] stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them!
17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the [Gospel] message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was delivered out of the jaws of the lion.
18[And indeed] the Lord will certainly deliver and draw me to Himself from every assault of evil. He will preserve and bring me safe unto His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen (so be it). AMP
HEBREWS 6: 17-19
17 Accordingly God also, in His desire to show more convincingly and beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose and plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath.
18 This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us].
19[Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it‑‑a hope] that reaches farther and enters into [the very certainty of the Presence] within the veil, [Lev 16:2.]
20 Where Jesus has entered in for us [in advance], a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek. [Ps 110:4.]
AMP
REMEMBER GODS WORD CANNOT FAIL. HE IS WITH US IN IT ALL, IN THE STORM AND ON THE WATER AND IN THE FIRE. EVEN AS THE HEBREW CHILDREN. HE SEES THINGS AND KNOWS THINGS THAT WE DO NOT KNOW, AND WE CAN TRUST HIM. WE CAN ONLY TRUST HIM. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TRUSTWORTHY.
