And It Was So
Volume 2, Day 25
The words “And it was so” are repeated several times in the story of creation in Genesis 1.
Whatever God said—it happened. “Let there be light . . . . Let there be a firmament [sky]. . . . Let the earth bring forth grass . . . .” Then, each time, the words: “And it was so.” God spoke the words and it became a reality.
As I read about the beginning of our world and the power of God, I started to think about some other things God and His Son Jesus have said—things we can count on.
When Jesus was talking about His followers, He said, “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand” (John 10:28). If we have put our trust in Him, we can be assured that we have eternal life right now and will live with Him forever.
The writer to the Hebrews said, “Be content with such things as you have. For [God] Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’” (Heb. 13:5). We can be sure that our needs will be met and that we won’t be left alone.
One of Jesus’ most comforting promises is “I will come again and receive you to Myself” (John 14:3). He said it; we can believe it and wait confidently for that day.
Count on God’s Word. It will be so.
