PONDERING: GOD WITH US

 

PONDERING: GOD WITH US

Psalm 119:59 I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your statutes. NLT

God is with us, when no one else is. Matt. 28:20 People come and go in our lives. Some stay around for a long time while others hang around for only a short period of time. We all need someone who we can count on to be there for us no mater what happens in life. Jesus is the only one who can be counted on to never, ever, leave or forsake us. Jesus came to be with us now and forever. Praise His holy name!

God is with us in the loneliest times of our lives, when there is no love, joy, peace, or seemingly hope. No matter how dark things may be, you can rest in God’s promise to be there with you to help you. When you catch yourself focusing on your circumstances, ponder this wonderful truth. God has not abandoned you, no matter what your mind or emotions may tell you. He is but a prayer away.

God is with us when we lose our way in the maze of life. He is always with us to take us by the hand and get us back on track. John 14:6 Life can get pretty confusing at times, but Jesus will always help us to make sense of things and help us find our way to God.

God is with us when we are overwhelmed by the difficulties of life. Let us face it, life can be very difficult and unfair. We may go through life never enjoying the blessings that others have. We may go through extremely difficult times and long for the Lord to come and take us home. Yet, remember Job and follow his example. He did not let his circumstances dictate or ruin his faith in God. He did not understand why he had to suffer, but he understood that of far greater value was his faith in God than the comforts of life.

God is with us when we are faced with an all-out attack from Satan. There is power in the presence of Christ. Satan cannot stand up against our Lord. Resist Satan in Jesus’ name and he will flee from you. James 4:7-8; I Peter 5:8-9 Satan, too, will bow before the Lord one day and declare that He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Never take off the armor God on you, and you will live in victory over him. Eph. 6:10-20

God is with us. God. Creator, giver, and sustainer of life is with us. He who created all things by the mere utterance of His word is with us. He who is our holiness and righteousness is with us. God with us, hallelujah! Praise His holy name.
