Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Matthew 28:20 "And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
God tells us, "Do not fear!" Almost always, He follows "fear not" with His reassuring promise that He is with you. Not just occassionally, but always! While I was choosing Scripture to share today, there was a overflowing river of Scripture that confirms that comforting promise.
The lyrics to one of my favorite songs kept playing over and over in my head today. They sing of God saying, "I'm with you." I encourage you to google it and listen if you aren't familiar with it. It is by Casting Crowns, "I Will Praise You in This Storm" I promise it will bless you. The beautiful lyric that went through my head today was:
...As the thunder rolls,
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
And as your mercy falls...
I can just imagine hearing that beautiful whisper!
Dear LORD, You are with me, always. You are with me when I am content, You are with me when I am frustrated, You are with me when I am joyous, You are with me when I am in the center of a stormy trial. You are with me when I am in need, You are with me when I have abundance, You know when I rise and when I lay down to rest -- and everything in between. Thank you, God that you have promised me that "surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
