God Is With Us



Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

God is with us, and is healing us even when we haven’t been diagnosed with any particular disease or we don’t feel ill. Acknowledging this, I believe He is constantly sheltering us from all the harm that could befall us. Likely many of us take Him for granted in this respect without intentionally doing so.

We might consider that our lives seem to be going along without any real problems and maybe we don’t really have anything to complain about. We might even say life is pretty good! Surely, it’s not because we’re just lucky. No, it is our loving God sheltering us under His mighty wings; we are protected!

God is healing us everyday, every minute and we don’t even know He is doing it! Let’s stop and think about this for a moment. There is so much more trouble or tragedy we could be experiencing, but we aren’t! So, let’s say; thanks be to God! He gives His angels charge over us and in their hands He bears us up. “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor the arrows that fly by day, nor the pestilence that walks in the darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday” (Psalm 91.)

Whatever our situation, or the condition of our health, we are blessed by our Lord. He is our healing strong tower.

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...
