"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
Several individuals have been reportedly struggling financially, physically, emotionally, mentally, and most of all spiritually.
And they commonly mention these two words as their last resort, "I quit!"
With that kind of thinking, there seems to be no hope at all. But, we have a Loving Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who died for those who believe in Him.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead after three days has given us the reason to believe that He is our living hope. This simply implies that He cares for all of us, and loves us so much.
In the book of Isaiah, Chapter 26, verses 3,4 and 9, it stated, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you. Trust you in the Lord for ever: for in the LORD is everlasting strength: With my soul have I desired you in the night; yea with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness."
Knowing and obeying God's perfect will will help you attain peace that doesn't come from this world but from Him alone. Struggles in life may still be there, but there's an assurance through His Word, the Bible.
God is holy, righteous and merciful and at the same time, He is just. He never forsakes those who depend on Him alone.
Our Heavenly Father is also a jealous God. He doesn't want us to shift our attention to any idols which can be in a form of money, material things, prestige, profession, statues or graven images and other rubbish things.
Indeed, it is only through the name of Jesus that we can achieve that complete peace and satisfaction, wherein no one or nothing in this world can ever match.
