IS GOD WITH ME?
Matthew 28:20 (NIV) “… I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
The phrase “I am with you” is attributed to God, the Father or Jesus, the Son in the NIV translation 18 times in scripture. 6 times it first says to “fear not” or “do not fear”. 4 times God says afterward that He will “rescue you”. As if it weren’t enough to know that the Creator of the Universe is WITH you, He also states in Genesis 28:15that He “will watch over you wherever you go”. This is incredible news to the believer.
As believers in Christ, we understand that God is everywhere at all times and that He resides within us by His Holy Spirit. Being true, it is also easy to accept the fact that He is with us no matter where we go. This is good news unless you go somewhere you ought not to go. We struggle because we have this intrinsic problem with consistently believing in what we cannot see. We fear because we do not trust. We lack hope because we do not have faith. The very nature of faith and trust is believing in the unseen as if it is seen. Even though God has never let us down, we still doubt.
What does this all mean? Essentially, it means that we are feeding from the wrong trough. This world will chew you up and spit you out in a heartbeat. The lord of this world, satan, wants you to fail. He wants you to be afraid. He doesn’t want you to read the Bible and thus feed yourself positive, uplifting, encouraging words that will instill in you courage and boldness. He wants you to become depressed and stressed and generally speaking, a mess. In this condition you are no good to anyone, including yourself.
Take heart my friends, for satan is a defeated foe. God is with you wherever you go and is there to save you from the fate that your enemy has in mind for you. Cling to Christ. Seek His face. Cry out to Him. He hears you. He sees you. Nothing catches Him by surprise. He is aware of all your comings and goings. He is there for you. There is nothing you cannot accomplish with God.
Do you understand that it only takes ONE WORD from your Heavenly Father to change your entire situation. He is YOUR Heavenly Father. He loves you. He is patient and kind. He is merciful and gracious. His Holy Spirit speaks the word into your spirit . You must understand that if you follow wherever He leads without fear or impatience, you cannot lose. It may appear that you are against the ropes, but with God nothing is impossible and even the most seemingly horrendous circumstances can be turned completely around … because He is with you. Let that fact soak into your heart, mind and spirit. When you call Him, He hears and the wheels in heaven are turning right now to bring you what you need. Trust in and rely on God. He is in complete control of all things. No exceptions. No matter how bad you may think your situation is, God is there to bring you out of it if you will only ask Him to.
WALK WITH THE KING TODAY AND BE A BLESSING!
