Never Doubt the Light
Read today's verse.
Regardless of your circumstances and how you feel, hang on to God’s unchanging character.
2 Corinthians 1:12 says, “Now that the worst is over, we're pleased we can report that we've come out of this with conscience and faith intact, and can face the world — and even more importantly, face you with our heads held high. But it wasn't by any fancy footwork on our part. It was God who kept us focused on him, uncompromised.”
Your circumstances cannot change the character of God. God’s grace is still in full force; he is still for you, even when you don’t feel it.
Remind yourself what you know to be eternally true about God: He is good, he loves you, he is with you, he knows what you’re going through, he cares, and he has a good plan for your life.
Raymond Edman, one of Billy Graham’s mentors, once said, “Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light.”
So, what has God told you in the light that you now doubt in the dark? Why do you think you doubt God now? Remember, your circumstances cannot change the character of God.

Scripture
About this Plan
What you know is what gets you through. If you don’t know the right things when the rough winds and tsunamis of life come, you’re going to fall over. But if our lives are built on the rock solid, bedrock truth of the Bible, we know some unchanging truths.
