Everything is being cancelled… games, shows, vacations... cancellations everywhere! But God will never cancel his promise to take care of us! Do not interpret the presence of problems as the absence of God. He has promised “never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

Children have a tendency to say, “Look at me!” Yet many adults spend their grown- up years saying the same. Isn’t it time we grew up? We were made to live a life that says, “Look at God!” People are to look at us and see not us but the image of our Maker.
