What Could Go Wrong? (Isaiah 41:10)

I removed the glistening steel from its clear plastic wrap and held it in my hand, testing its balance. It was my new throwing axe. As I admired the workmanship, the copy on the packaging caught my eye. “Featuring stainless steel, synthetic sheath, and an integrated bottle opener.”

Wonderful! Throwing axes and drinking alcohol. What could go wrong? Ironically, many public arenas for axe throwing double as bars. It is a potential recipe for disaster. 

In life, we may occasionally and naively enter into activities, unaware that there could be a great deal of danger to ourselves. We may even be reassured by others that nothing could go wrong, only to discover that we have been defrauded or caused harm to ourselves or our loved ones. Guaranteed investments. A weight loss supplement. The list is endless. What could go wrong?

Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10 (NASB)

The world attempts to deceive us into believing that nothing can go wrong when we enter into precarious situations. Thanks be to God that He assures all who have placed their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior have nothing to fear. His promise is sealed with His death and the power of His resurrection.

…for He Himself has said, “I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,” so that we confidently say, “THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID.

WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?” 

Hebrews 13:5-6 (NASB)

Love and trust in the Lord; seek His will in your life.
