There will come a time, a special moment, and maybe a devastating event in each of our lives when we lift our hands to Jesus and say, “Even If He Doesn’t”!

      “Even If He Doesn’t” answer yes, will you still trust Him? Psalm 56:3-4 reminds us, “But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?”

    “Even If He Doesn’t” stop the pain, will you remain faithful? James 1:12 says, “God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”

     “Even If He Doesn’t” speak the word over your situation, will you still obey Him? Jesus says in John 14:23-24, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me. And remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me.”

    Whatever Jesus decides to do in your life, is it well with your soul? Our hope should be in Jesus and in Him alone! Even if I must walk through the fire, I will still put my hope in Jesus. This is the kind of sold-out lifestyle that Jesus is looking for from us. It is an “Even If He Doesn’t” kind of surrender!

Search yourself and go deeper:

Action Plan:
