Charles Stanley Daily Devotional (October 23, 2025) You Can Trust God.
In troubling seasons, trust the Lord to provide all you need.
Matthew 7:9-11 - ``Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? 10 ``Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11 ``If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
As we all know, life oftentimes confronts us with unexpected or painful circumstances. During such troubling moments, we can rest on this essential truth: The Lord is perfect in His love.
Consider 1 John 1:5: “God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.” In other words, everything our heavenly Father does is righteous. And if He is a God of love, then it is impossible for Him to mistreat any of His children. We can be assured that whatever He places or permits in our life is good and that His motives are pure.
Jesus demonstrated this deep care for us when He offered His blood on the cross—there exists no greater display of love than giving one’s life for someone else (John 15:13 - ``Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.). Christ, the perfect lamb, was willing to die in our place so that we could have an eternal relationship with the Father. If God gave us His Son—the most precious gift He could possibly give—to take care of our greatest need, then we can trust Him to provide for all areas of our life.
When difficulty arises, remember how much God loves you. Even when circumstances are painful, you can be confident that because of the heavenly Father’s love, you’re always held in His capable and caring hands.
