Corrie ten Boom once said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God”.

That is a beautiful quote, but it becomes far more powerful when you know the life behind it.

Corrie was a Dutch Christian who lived with her family in Haarlem, Netherlands, during the Nazi occupation. She and her family could have chosen safety. They could have minded their own business, kept quiet and hoped the evil around them passed by their door.

Instead, they chose courage.

The ten Boom family helped hide Jews and members of the Dutch resistance from the Nazis. A secret room was built behind a false wall in Corrie’s bedroom, and their home became part of a larger underground network that protected people marked for death.

Then, on February 28, 1944, the family was betrayed.

The Gestapo raided their home and arrested Corrie, her sister Betsie, their elderly father Casper and other members of the family. Six people were hiding in the secret room at the time. The Nazis searched the house, but they never found them.

Corrie’s father, who was 84 years old, died only days after his arrest.

Corrie and Betsie were eventually sent to Ravensbrück, one of Nazi Germany’s most infamous concentration camps for women. There they faced hunger, disease, cruelty, forced labor and the constant presence of death.

Yet even in that darkness, Corrie and Betsie clung to Christ. They prayed with other prisoners. They shared Scripture. They encouraged women who had every earthly reason to give up.

Then Betsie died in the camp.

Corrie was left to face the unknown without the sister who had walked through so much of it beside her. Less than two weeks later, Corrie was released from Ravensbrück and eventually made her way home.

What did she do after surviving that kind of evil?

She spent the rest of her life telling people about Jesus Christ, forgiveness and the faithfulness of God.

She even returned to Germany and personally forgave a former Ravensbrück guard who approached her after one of her sermons.

That is why her quote matters.

Corrie ten Boom was not speaking from comfort. She was not offering a cute religious slogan for easy times. She was speaking as a woman who had trusted God when the future was terrifying, when the cost was real and when tomorrow was completely unknown.

So when she says, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God,” she is not asking us to pretend life is easy.

She is reminding us that Jesus is faithful.

You may not know what is coming next. You may not know how the story ends. But you can know the One who holds tomorrow, and He has never failed those who put their trust in Him.

🚨 BOOM! Democrats are STUNNED after the Detroit News just formally endorsed Mike Rogers (R) for the U.S. Senate race in Michigan over Abdul El Sayed (D)

They did NOT expect that 🔥

It looks like Abdul’s Islamist and socialist ways are catching up with him.

It’s getting so bad, rumor has it Abdul is asking Kamala Harris to campaign for him 😭

Momentum is with Rogers! ELECT THIS PATRIOT

🚨 Mike Rogers just exposed in front of the whole nation that MI Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed (D) is fundraising from ISLAMIC TERROR organizations

"Radical ISLAMIC terrorism. I've spent MUCH of my life confronting it! [...] Abdul is funding his campaign with money from terrorist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood!"

"Abdul says he wants money out of politics unless that money comes from recognized terrorist organizations." 🤯

@MikeRogersForMI is exposing it all. Even DEMOCRATS who remember 9/11 should not be ANYWHERE NEAR electing Abdul to the US Senate

It would be a historic defeat. Elect this PATRIOT!

00:01:25
🚨 MICHIGAN just got hit with a nuclear ad.

Abdul El-Sayed spent the primary hugging up with Hasan Piker, the same streamer who said America deserved 9/11.

Now that ad is out. On the week we remember 3,000 murdered Americans.

You don’t get to play footsie with that crowd and then act shocked when voters notice.

This isn’t “gotcha politics.” This is a character test.

Mike Rogers hunted terrorists. El-Sayed built a coalition with people who mock the dead.

Michigan cannot send this man to the U.S. Senate.

ELECT MIKE ROGERS!

If you’re a Democrat who still believes this country is worth defending, this race is your wake-up call.

Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital?

Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?
Have you shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scout?

The answer is no, you have not. Just ask yourself WHY ???
Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's history."
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE
Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims who celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence?
Bill of Rights?
Didn't think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not.
In fact, Muslims to this day are ...
