God favors the humble over the proud. It is in surrendering our troubles to his care and trusting in him that we are free and empowered to know his love. God knows that we all suffer and there is comfort in this. No matter what we may each have going on in our lives, we all have our challenges, insecurities, and hardships. However, the Lord has us in his care if we are humble enough to accept him. “The God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory through Christ (Jesus) will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered a little.”
We are called to not be afraid. We are called to trust. We are called to cast our own burdens aside and take up the Lord’s challenge: “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.” It is when we are no longer concerned with ourselves and our own personal worries that we are free to do God’s work. “They went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.”
