God promises that if you maintain your faith-grip on His faithfulness, you can face your challenges with confidence.

Drum Castle, near Aberdeen, Scotland, has been restored to striking handsomeness. Outside are rich gardens of winding shrubs. It’s pleasant on a Scottish spring day to stroll in the greenery. Many see life like that. They ease through the garden, when suddenly there’s the onslaught of the enemy, jumping from behind the shrubs. A terrifying phone call, squadrons of criticism and looming defeat come seemingly from nowhere. God’s promise to His covenant people is that if they will maintain their faith-grip on His faithfulness even in the suddenness of the ambush, they can face it with confidence.
