Fear Not Tomorrow, God Is Already There Devotional: 100 Certain Truths for Uncertain Times

by Ruth Graham

Ruth Graham, daughter of Billy and Ruth Bell Graham, tackles the fear and uncertainty readers confront when facing daunting challenges and times of uncertainty. Graham empathizes with readers who feel inadequate, outnumbered, overpowered, ill-equipped, or even beyond hope. She then leads a discovery of the all-sufficiency of God and his power, demonstrating how to replace fears with hope and anticipation.Graham writes, “If you are hoping to find within these pages ten steps to greater confidence or positive self-talk for conquering anxiety or how to rise above your challenges to reach your destiny, you won’t find what you are looking for here at all. This book is not about overcoming your shortcomings to build a better you. Growing an unshakable trust in God as you face your tomorrows is not about self-improvement or mastering your circumstances, but about God—who he is, what he does, and why we can trust him.” Graham writes not from an ivory tower of theological discourse, but from the battlefields of brokenness and recovery. From that vantage point she offers evidence that, whether readers’ frightening tomorrows are self-inflicted, other-inflicted, or simply life-inflicted, they may hold fast to the simple yet powerful truth, Fear not tomorrow, God is already there. Each chapter explores a distinct attribute of God and an illustration from God’s Word demonstrating each attribute at work in the face of daunting challenges. Then Graham unpacks enlightening encounters of God’s presence and power, impacting the lives of everyday people today. Graham weaves a tapestry of the all-sufficiency of God and his power to enfold our todays and tomorrows in his mighty grip. Readers will catch sight of his power, learn to rest in his peace, and be filled with anticipation for the future. Fear not tomorrow, God is already there!

I picked this book because of the author and I love Billy Graham and all that he stands for. This book is excellent to use as part of ones daily devotion. I applaud Ms Graham for a job well done here. This devotional is full boundless wisdom and enlightenment and I am glad I read it. It is eye opening and opens the door to discovery of God through this collection of 100 brief readings that also accompany Bible verses illustrating God's love for us, His character, presence, reassurance, and unshakable love, as well as His words of hope and strength for a future. Jeremiah 29:11(NIV) tells us "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Each reading concludes with a scriptural prayer composed from those verses into a very personal dialogue between you and God." I encourage anyone wanting improve their walk w/ God to read this and/or add to a part of your devotional to Him. Also don't forget she also has a book titled the same "Fear Not Tomorrow, God Is Already There Trusting Him in Uncertain Times." This will not make all your fears disappear, but it WILL help to replace fear with hope. Give it a shot - grow in your understanding of who God is. You will never look at tomorrow through the same eyes again. Enjoy, blessings!!!

This is a great devotional to have in ones collection of books. I keep mine near my bed, in my bookself. I remove other books to storage or donate them, however, this is one of those books that is great for re-reading over and over again for enlightenment, hope and a reminder of God's promises. Because he Never fails!
