As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem. ISAIAH 66 : 13
ARE YOUR DAYS GETTING AS DARK AS YOUR NIGHTS ? .. DO YOU SEEM TO HAVE MORE PROBLEMS THAN ANSWERS ? .. DOES IT FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE RUNNING INTO BRICK WALL AFTER BRICK WALL ? .. DO YOU FIND YOURSELF FEELING ALONE AND SCARED AS YOU BATTLE THE GIANTS THAT SEEM TO BE WAITING FOR YOU AROUND EVERY CORNER ? .. The world can come across as a very cold, tough, hard place to live in sometimes, and as the days pass by things only seem to be getting harder and harder with no sign of relief or release. For many of us, we have reached the point where it has all just become " too much ". You feel alone and isolated .. a prisoner to your problems and worries .. your soul and spirit is so full of stress and anxiety .. and you are overflowing with pain and fear .. I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU, NOR FORSAKE YOU Hebrews 13 : 5 Such simple words .. BUT ARE THEY REALLY .. NO THEY ARE NOT !! .. There is absolutely nothing simple about the above Scripture .. Why you may ask ? .. because the words are not just words at all .. This is a direct, sincere promise from God to you !! No matter what your circumstance are .. No matter how big your giants might seem .. You will never have to face them alone .. GOD IS WITH YOU and HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU !! Your Heavenly Father knows very well that you are going to experience and go through periods in your life when it feels as though your situations and circumstances are going to swallow you up .. in fact He has even warned you that it is going to happen .. " While you are in this world, you will have to suffer .. " .. John 16 : 33 So what was God's intention for telling you that you are going to suffer and experience tribulations ? .. Well, He told you so that you might begin to realize that the God you serve is ALL - Mighty, ALL - Powerful and ALL - Knowing. God wants you to know that He does not want you to allow personal trials and tribulations to dictate your life .. He wants you to know that He does not want you to allow earthly issues to control and destroy you .. He wants you to know that He does not want worry, stress and anxiety to become your new best friends .. He wants you to know that He does not want you to carry on trying to change your life and your circumstances all on your own GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW .. THAT HE KNOWS !! And because He knows .. He wants you to understand that you do not have to continue on your life's journey alone .. He has made you promise after promise that He will be there .. and because God has said it .. SO IT IS !! God is not like people, He tells no lies. He is not like humans. He does not change His mind. When He says something, He does it. When He makes a promise, He keeps it .. Numbers 23 : 19 So the next time you catch your earthly issues trying to overtake you .. When your car breaks down and you can not afford to repair it .. When your electricity bill arrives and you do not have enough money to pay for it .. When you face the possibility of being let go from your job .. When you feel as though you have reached the end of your rope and you wonder where you can go to find help .. HERE IS ANOTHER PROMISE TO STAND FIRM ON .. HE WILL NOT LET YOU FALL. YOUR GUARDIAN WILL NOT FALL ASLEEP .. Psalms 121 : 3 You are a child .. You are not designed to operate on your own .. so trust and believe that your heavenly Father adores you .. trust and believe that you are the apple of your Fathers eye. Have faith enough to know that if you truly allow yourself to be His child and you truly allow God to be your Father .. then you are standing on the foundation of God's never-ending power and goodness, and once you are on His foundation, He will not allow you to be moved .. God will ensure that you are able to stand firm and that you remain safe in His protection. The Lord your God never sleeps .. HE NEVER TAKES HIS EYES OFF YOU !! You may have taken your eyes off Him .. You may have made the choice to struggle and fight alone .. BUT .. God's promises remain .. He has never moved out of your life .. He has never left your side .. He is still standing at the door where you left Him .. Open And Let Him In .. God Does Not Want You To Be Alone Anymore !! THE WORD OF GOD IS A PERSON .. WHEN YOU READ IT DO YOU SEE WORDS ? .. OR .. DO YOU SEE HIM ? Comments are closed.
