And all of a sudden...

Your world changes forever. Something abrupt & unexpected happens, and you feel as though you've been thrown into the desert with no compass (or no cell phone). You just aren't sure of the next steps to take when life hits you out of nowhere...

"Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:" 2 Peter 1:10.

When we are rooted in The Lord, we don't have to fear what tomorrow may bring. When our calling & election is sure, all of the "unsures" will take care of themselves. The Scripture puts it plain & simple: when we are sure & firm, we will NEVER FALL! We will never get the wind knocked out of us when life hands us a sudden "out of nowhere" situation!

Yes, we still can't see the future. We will still be taken by surprise. Things will still shock us. But we will take it positively or negatively depending on how much we are SURE about our God & His ability to set us back on course!

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord , thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
Jeremiah 29:11.

When we are sure about God and His promises now, we can expect a peaceful eternity! The whole point of the Holy Ghost is to be a directional compass from this life to the next. Adding His Word to our lives continues to give us more security and helps us stand firm to be sure we never fall.

"And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee." Psalms 39:7. What are we waiting for? This world is not a trustworthy place most of the time. Our hope needs to be sure in The Lord! When we are sure of our God, His hope, and His help, everything will fall into place instead of falling apart.
