When life gets hard, it’s easy to wonder if God is really paying attention. Maybe you’ve asked yourself: Where is God right now? Does He still do miracles? Can I really trust Him with what I’m going through?

The prophet Isaiah asked a similar question in Isaiah 51:10:
“Are you not the same today, the one who dried up the sea, making a path of escape through the depths so your people could cross over?”

That’s a rhetorical question—and the answer is a resounding yes! The God who worked in history is the very same God we serve today.

Think about it. This is the God who parted the Red Sea so His people could walk through on dry ground. This is the God who shut the mouths of lions so Daniel could sleep in peace. This is the God who made the sun stand still for Joshua so the battle could be won. This is the God who rained down manna from heaven to feed His people in the wilderness.

Over and over again, we see God showing up for His people in powerful ways. And here’s the truth we need to hold onto: He hasn’t changed. Hebrews 13:8 reminds us that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

So what does that mean for us right now—in the middle of our own struggles?

First, it means we can have peace. Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble.” He is not distant. He’s not distracted. He is a present help. When anxiety rises, when troubles surround us, we can run to Him and find shelter.

Second, it means we can have hope. If God could move seas, shut lions’ mouths, and provide daily bread in the desert, then surely He can handle the problems you and I face today. Our circumstances may be overwhelming, but our God is greater than our circumstances.

Finally, it means we can trust Him. Trust doesn’t always mean God will do things the way we want or in the timing we expect. But it does mean He will always be faithful. His track record speaks for itself. The God of the Old Testament, the God of the cross, the God of the empty tomb—that’s the God walking with you today.

So let me ask you: Are you facing some trouble right now? Do you need peace? Do you need hope? Then turn to Him. The same God who worked miracles in the past is your refuge today.

Don’t let fear or doubt win the day. Anchor your heart in the truth that God is unchanging, powerful, and trustworthy. Whatever you’re facing, He is the same God—yesterday, today, and forever.

God bless you. I pray this truth encourages you and strengthens your faith today.
