~ The Lord Is With You ~

Have you ever been lonely or even fearful? Consider the word the Lord told Joshua: “Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).The apostle Paul also understood that the Lord was with him no matter what his circumstances were. While in jail in Rome , Paul wrote a letter to the church in Philippi in which he said, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13). Not some things—ALL things! Paul knew that alone he could not overcome his situation, but with God’s presence and mighty power, he could accomplish great things, even in prison.

Do you need to get out of debt?
Do you need restoration in your relationships?
Do you need God’s touch in your body?
Do you need a miracle?

If you answered yes to any of those questions and you’ve done all that you know to do, remember that you’re not alone. Believe God is with you. Take Him at His word and trust Him more than you trust the circumstances that surround you.

In Jesus Name,

Genesis 14:12 (King James Version)
“Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the
Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.”

-When God sent Moses to deliver his people, there were many of them that did not want to be delivered. They were afraid of what the future might hold. They knew what evil to expect in Egypt because they were accustom to that. However, they were not sure of where God was trying to take them. As they were leaving Egypt, things did not appear to be in their favor. That is what caused them to question God.
-There are many things that we have prayed and asked God to deliver us from. When we do that it seems like things just get worse. It even appears as though we were better off before we even asked God for help. Well, that is a lie. Regardless of how things look, God wants us to trust him and have faith in what we asked of Him.
-In verse 15, God tells Moses to “speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.” It is time for us to stop looking back at how things were and move forward. It may have taken forty years, however, God’s children did make it to the Promise Land. There was no Promise Land in Egypt. “Lord, please help me to have trust and faith in you and cause me to not look back at what was, but to move forward to what you have in store for me.”

Genesis 1:1 (King James Version)
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

-Every now and then it is good the take it back to the beginning. Some times we act like we forgot that God created all things. We get a little to caught up in the creation and not in the creator. We want this and we need that. However, we need to take a minute to worship the creator of all things and spend less time worshiping the creation. God has already answered the age old question of, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” The answer: God did and we will do good to remember that and act accordingly. “Lord, please help me to worship the creator of all things and not the creation.”

Zechariah 8:16 (King James Version)
“These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:”

-There is truly nothing new under the sun. All this verse really says is, “keep it real.” It’s funny because everyone is running around yelling, “Just keep it real,” and yet at the same time everyone seems to be playing mind games with each other. We need to just be real, be who God created us to be. If we cannot be real with our friends (“neighbour”), then what is the point? “Lord, please give me a mind and a heart to really keep it real with my friends and family, but most importantly with myself.”

I Corinthians 13: 4 (King James Version)
“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,”

-So what does it mean to be kind? How can we be kind to God? Well before we answer this, we need to define the word kind. According to the Merriam-Webster OnLine Dictionary, the word kind means “of a sympathetic or helpful nature.” When we do things to help others, we are doing it unto God. It is the same as helping God. Matthew 25: 35-40 states, “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Matthew 25: 42-45 states that when we did not do these things, we are, in the same manner, not doing these things unto God. "Lord, help me remember that when I do or don’t do things for others, I am doing or not doing it for you as well."
