In these moments, we find that not only does He hear our cries, but He also faithfully responds. Every promise God has made is rooted in His unwavering character. This gives us the assurance that relying on Him is not only wise but also rewarding. Our trust must be built on the solid rock of faith in His Word and the truth of His nature.

Our acts of faith become a testimony of our unwavering belief in His promises, and we are called to share this light with others.
