Day 15-Bible verse

Behold God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid... Therefore with joy you shall draw water out of the wells of salvation."

-Isaiah 12:2-3

This one has been a guiding light to me for many many years. As a Christian, it speaks volumes to me.  It answers every question I have about life, death, worries, and what-ifs.  It is applicable to every situation.
Example:
I am so worried about there being a giant earthquake in SoCal....
Answer: I will trust and not be afraid.  Don't worry about it, this verse speaks, God has it under control, don't waste your time worrying about it.

What is going to happen with my job???
Answer: God is my salvation.  God will be there for you.  Your job is not the end all be all of this life.  Nor is your house, your car, your credit, or your Uggs.  You will not have these worldly possessions, but you will have God.  Always.

What happens if I just trust God, give it up to him, and my situation goes down hill???
Answer: with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.  In eternal life, you will be rewarded for your faithfulness.  Don't sweat the small stuff, with faith and good works, you will rejoice in salvation with the Lord.

Although, I often share my faith, I don't too often speak of my personal relationship with God.  I'll read the Bible, and I kept to myself.  So a post like this is very different for me to do.  Anyways, it felt good.
