“Pull me out of the net that they have laid privately for me: for you are my strength” (Psalm 31:4).

This brief yet powerful prayer expresses the psalmist’s trust and reliance on God. In the journey of our lives, we often encounter various troubles. At such times, the psalmist’s plea becomes our voice, guiding us to seek God’s face in difficulties, rely on His strength, and entrust our worries and troubles to Him. Whether it’s challenges in relationships, setbacks in marriage, health issues, work difficulties, or the hardships of life, we can trust in God’s watchful care, believing that He is our true Savior and refuge. In Him, we can find genuine freedom and peace. As God says, “Be quiet within Me, for I am your God, your only Redeemer. You must quiet your hearts at all times and live within Me; I am your rock, your buttress. Have no other mind, but rely on Me with your whole heart and I will certainly appear to you—I am your God!” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Utterances of Christ in the Beginning, Chapter 26).

God is our only reliance and help. As long as we genuinely depend on Him, build our faith on God’s promises and authority, He will save us from all difficulties.

“Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation; There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling” (Psalm 91:9–10).

This passage expresses trust in God—the Most High—as our refuge. It reveals that true safety and peace can only be found under the protection of God. In a world filled with uncertainties and challenges, we often feel endangered and helpless. However, the passage reminds us that when we make God our refuge, acknowledge Him as the Most High, seek His protection, and seek His presence, we can find genuine security and no disaster or calamity will come near our dwelling. Because God is all-knowing and all-powerful, with supreme authority in our lives. May we let go of all fears and anxieties, build our faith on the solid rock of the Most High, and believe that He can guide us through any risks and challenges that come our way.

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken” (Psalm 34:19–20).

This passage conveys God’s promise to the righteous—protection and deliverance. Though the righteous may face hardships and dangers, God personally intervenes to save them. Everything about them is within God’s grasp, and God will enable them to safely navigate all perils and tribulations.

However, not everyone qualifies as a righteous person. To be considered righteous, one must be someone who reveres and loves God, observes His commandments, and follows His will. Noah, Abraham, Job, and Peter are examples of such individuals—they are individuals who listen to God’s words and obediently follow Him. Only such individuals are eligible to receive God’s blessings and protection. Just as God says, “To God, no matter whether a person is great or insignificant, as long as they can listen to Him, obey His instructions and what He entrusts, and can cooperate with His work, His will, and His plan, so that His will and His plan can be accomplished smoothly, then that conduct is worthy of His remembrance and of receiving His blessing. God treasures such people, and He cherishes their actions and their love and affection for Him. This is God’s attitude” (The Word, Vol. 2. On Knowing God. God’s Work, God’s Disposition, and God Himself I).

“You are my hiding place and my shield: I hope in your word” (Psalm 119:114).

In this complex and increasingly dangerous world, where disasters are on the rise and life is filled with various difficulties and challenges, there are moments when we feel helpless and lost, unsure of how to move forward. That’s why we need a place to rely on, a place that can protect us, a guiding voice. For those who trust in God, that place is God, and that voice is the word of God. God is our refuge and our shield. No matter what dangers or difficulties we face, we can look to God’s word, rely on His power and wisdom, and find safety and peace in Him, avoiding the harm of evil and calamity. Just as God says, “You should know these are the last days. The devil Satan, like a roaring lion, stalks abroad, searching for people to devour. All manner of plagues now break out, and there are many of every sort of evil spirit. Only I am the true God; only I am your refuge. Now you can do nothing but hide in My secret place, only within Me, and disasters will not befall you, and no calamity will come near your tent” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Utterances of Christ in the Beginning, Chapter 28).

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle on you” (Psalm 43:2).

In the journey of life, we often encounter various tests and challenges. This verse seems like a comforting ray of light, bringing peace and warmth to our hearts. When facing the twists and turns of life, like wading through a river, God’s presence and protection are like the clear water that guides us safely across. He is our reliance, our strength, preventing us from sinking in the opposing currents. When the difficulties and pressures of life feel overwhelming, and we are feeling like being surrounded by raging flames, it’s precisely in this sea of fire that God’s protection and guidance become crucial. He is always our sturdy shield, shielding us from fierce flames, allowing us to navigate through challenges without being burned or overwhelmed by life’s hardships. Therefore, whether it’s the turbulence of water or the trial by fire, both are indispensable parts of our lives. Having traversed through water and fire, we can find the source of strength, the driving force to move forward, the comfort for our souls, and the true meaning of life in God’s promises.

“But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil” (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

God is faithful, and His essence remains unchanged. In the vicissitudes of life where people and circumstances are constantly changing, God’s unwavering essence is like a sturdy rock, unaffected by the erosion of time and weathering. Regardless of where we are or the challenges we face, God’s faithfulness is like the warm and enduring morning sun, illuminating the path ahead for us. In the journey of our lives, there are many temptations and evils, and at times, we may lose our way. However, the Lord’s faithfulness acts as an indestructible barrier, preventing the forces of evil from corroding our hearts. He is our guide, leading us on the path of righteousness, steering us away from the evil forces that hinder our progress.

May we sense God’s profound love for us through this scripture. He is not only faithful but also our strength, our protector—the God who never forsakes us. When we feel lonely or confused on the journey of life, we can rely on His faithfulness, firmly believing that He will guard us against all evil and bring peace and tranquility to us amidst life’s challenges.

“But they that wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31).

This passage is like a refreshing spring, cleansing the dust from our hearts and infusing new strength and hope into our lives. Waiting on God is an action of faith and a hopeful anticipation for the future. In the process of waiting, we may feel weary as our strength gradually diminishes. For example, believers are vigilant, awaiting the Lord’s return, and great disasters have occurred, but many people are yet to welcome the Lord’s return. Love and faith have waned, spiritual fatigue prevails, and even the entire religious community appears desolate. However, this passage assures us that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. But how can we truly renew our strength? God says, “All who are able to obey the present utterances of the Holy Spirit are blessed. It does not matter how they used to be, or how the Holy Spirit used to work within them—those who have gained the latest work of God are the most blessed, and those who are unable to follow the latest work today are cast out. God wants those who are able to accept the new light, and He wants those who accept and know His latest work. Why is it said that you must be a chaste virgin? A chaste virgin is able to seek the work of the Holy Spirit and understand the new things, and moreover, able to put aside old notions, and obey the work of God today. This group of people, who accept the newest work of today, were predestined by God before the ages, and are the most blessed of people. You hear the voice of God directly, and behold the appearance of God, and so, throughout heaven and earth, and throughout the ages, none have been more blessed than you, this group of people” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Know God’s Newest Work and Follow His Footsteps).

God’s words make it clear: Only by obeying the current words of God, and keeping pace with God’s new work, can one earn God’s approval and receive the Holy Spirit’s work, and obtain strength and faith from God. If you want to keep up with God’s new work and renew your strength, please feel free to contact us through the online chat window at the bottom of our website. We will be glad to share God’s words and have online conversations with you.

“For you will light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness” (Psalm 18:28).

This scripture is like a bright lamp that pierces through the darkness and illuminates the path ahead for us. In this world, filled with challenges and difficulties, it often feels like we’re surrounded by a dense, dark night that leaves us feeling lost and helpless. But this scripture shows us that there is a God who will light the lamp in our hearts. His words are like the dawn’s light, warm and full of hope, guiding us as we navigate through the darkness, enabling us to see each step clearly through the fog, and understand the direction of our lives. God says, “Whether the words spoken by God be plain or profound in outward appearance, they are all truths indispensable to man’s life entry; they are the fount of living waters that enables man to survive in both spirit and flesh. They provide what man needs to stay alive; the principles and creed for conducting his daily life; the path he must take to salvation, as well as its goal and direction; every truth that he should possess as a created being before God; and every truth about how man obeys and worships God. They are the guarantee that ensures man’s survival, they are man’s daily bread, and they are also the sturdy support that enables man to be strong and stand up. They are rich in the truth reality with which created mankind lives out normal humanity, rich in the truth by which mankind breaks free from corruption and eludes Satan’s snares, rich in the tireless teaching, exhortation, encouragement, and solace that the Creator gives to created humanity. They are the beacon that guides and enlightens men to understand all that is positive, the guarantee which ensures that men will live out and come into possession of all that is righteous and good, the criterion by which all people, events, and objects are measured, and also the navigation marker that leads men toward salvation and the path of light” (The Word, Vol. 2. On Knowing God. Preface).

Let’s keep our faith and listen closely to God’s voice, allowing His words of life to light our way in the darkness ahead. In His words, we’ll discover the path to salvation, find strength and comfort, because He is the true light in our lives.

“As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him” (2 Samuel 22:31).

This passage reminds us of God’s faithfulness and love, offering us perfect comfort and unwavering protection. God’s way is perfect and His words are flawless. In this complex and chaotic world, God’s words serve as the lighthouse in our lives, guiding us like a compass, showing us the right direction. They help us remain steadfast in adversity, preventing life’s challenges and difficulties from overwhelming us. When we truly believe in God’s words and trust in Him, it’s like finding refuge behind an unshakable fortress, with an indestructible shield safeguarding us. No storm in our lives can break through this sturdy barrier; because God is our protector, like an unbreakable shield, shielding us from every danger, so that our faith grows stronger and our path becomes increasingly steadfast.

May we have steadfast faith as we walk the path directed by God, achieve purification through His words, and live a life of strength and peace under the protection of His shield.

“And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).

Reading this passage feels like a refreshing stream flowing deep within us, bringing peace and tranquility. In today’s bustling world, people often pursue external success and material wealth, yet God’s peace is an unexpected gift—a treasure surpassing worldly riches, an inner calm from the depths of our souls. It remains undisturbed by external influences or the worries of the world, offering tranquility and serenity beyond human comprehension. This peace is found in Christ Jesus. Christ is our Shepherd and the cornerstone of our faith. When we entrust our lives to Christ, God’s peace becomes a faithful guardian, protecting our hearts and minds. It’s an inner safeguard that allows us to remain steadfast amid life’s storms, providing solace to our souls.

May we treasure this peace and entrust our hearts to Christ, who safeguards our thoughts and feelings, so we can experience His peace and comfort that surpass all understanding.

God says, “The Almighty has mercy on these people who have suffered deeply; at the same time, He is fed up with these people who lack consciousness, as He has had to wait too long for an answer from humanity. He wishes to seek, to seek your heart and your spirit, to bring you water and food and to awaken you, that you may no longer be thirsty and hungry. When you are weary and when you begin to feel something of the bleak desolation of this world, do not be lost, do not cry. Almighty God, the Watcher, will embrace your arrival at any time. He is keeping watch by your side, waiting for you to turn back around. He is waiting for the day you suddenly recover your memory: when you realize that you came from God, that, at some unknown time you lost your direction, at some unknown time you lost consciousness on the road, and at some unknown time acquired a ‘father’; when you realize, furthermore, that the Almighty has always been keeping watch, waiting there a very, very long time for your return. He has been watching with desperate longing, waiting for a response without an answer. His watching and waiting are beyond any price, and they are for the sake of the human heart and the human spirit. Perhaps this watching and waiting are indefinite, and perhaps they are at an end. But you should know exactly where your heart and your spirit are right now” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. The Sighing of the Almighty).
