Greetings to all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Parents usually keep telling their children, 'be careful'; specially when they leave the house to go somewhere or sometimes the wife tells the husband, 'be carefull, drive slow'. These are small acts of concern shown by our family members, friends and the people we stay with. But the word of God tells us, “keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong.” - 1 Corinthians 16:13. There are four aspects in this verse.

“You do not even know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” – James 4:14. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Only God knows. Because God is our Creator. He is omnipotent. He is omniscient. He is beyond time. Even what has not happened, God knows it. When we are in God’s hands, then we need not worry about tomorrow. Jesus himself says, “So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” – Matthew 6:34.

My dear brothers and sisters, in today’s world it is very difficult to find someone who is faithful; whether a friend, a spouse, an employee, a worker or anyone. Some time or the other that person will become unfaithful to you. And this is the time we try to search for the one who is always faithful. He is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ. As St. Paul says to the Thessalonians, “The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:24.
