CALM COLLECTED FAITH
ASSURANCE
Not one “Oops!”, “Uh-oh”, or “Sorry!” but perfection in all His ways
No mistakes, sovereign ruling throughout our fleeting days
What seems mistake or worse, an “accident” of chance
Is well within His grasp, not dicey happenstance.
But evil and injustice—how can these things occur
Without Him moving quickly and justice to secure?
Higher, more profound, far beyond our grasp
The Master works His wonders, and one day we will gasp
When dimly becomes clearly, and all is fully seen
Worship, adoration, repentance in between
Humbled, staggered knowing—wise beyond belief
Beholding Sovereign Wisdom, the fullness of relief
When Cross and Crown emerge, “It is finished!”—wholly known
Then, beloved pilgrim, bow low before the throne
Redemption, full awareness, deliverance, every grace
Recognizing Truth, living face-to-face
Receiving more than knowledge, consumed by holy Love
Experiencing wonder lifted far above
Earthly, fleshly reason, limiting like night,
Fully free forever—healed, our faith now sight.

Godly Assurance
“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold and my refuge,
my savior; you save me from violence.
I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
2 SAMUEL 22:2-4 ESV
Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
1 CORINTHIANS 13:12 NLT
Friendly Assurance
If God has said so, surely you do not want to suggest He has lied! if He has spoken, will He not fulfill it? If He has given you His word—His sure word of promise —do not question it but trust it absolutely. You have His promise, and in fact you have even more—you have Him who confidently speaks the words.
“Yes, I tell you” (Luke 12:5). Trust Him!
J. B. Figgis
Rest Assured
Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
ISAIAH 54:10 BEREAN STUDY BIBLE
Live Assured
Whom have I in heaven but you?
I desire you more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
he is mine forever.
Psalm 73:25-26
And let’s not forget the Amplified Bible’s explanation of faith in Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].”
If you are in Christ, dear one, live assured in the goodness of God and His abundant provision through Jesus. Fear not. All is well, the Lord reigns.
