GOD IS PRESENT. Often in trials we tend to fear He has abandoned us or forgot about us or He is not good, as if He was, this would not be happening-{See Psalm 13:1-3 David came to some wrong conclusion about God concerning the length of his trial.} He has not, will not leave, forsake, abandon, discard His own. The apparent “silence,” or lack of “feelings”do not nullify or indicate His leaving or abandoning or disowning you. The absence of “feelings”are not to be believed as though He is no longer interested or for you. Such lack of the “feelings” of His “presence” are not to be trusted. They neither prevent His being present with you, or for you, in times of trouble. He is consistently the same. His promises are true and He is with you. The choice is to walk by “feelings”or faith in the Faithful One, who has SAID…
- “…And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”- {Matt 28:20}
- “He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.” {Psalm 91:15}
- “Be strong and be courageous, do not be afraid nor discouraged for the LORD your God is with YOU WHEREVER YOU GO!” {Josh 1:9}
- “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.”- {Deut 31:6}
- “…I can never get away from Your presence!”- {Psalm 139:7}
- “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” – {Heb 13:5}
Focus On the Faithful One. Live by Faith in the Faithful One, and not By Feelings.
God Is Present With you ALWAYS and FOREVER!
