THE LORD IS NEAR
MAIN TEXT: ISAIAH 43:2
When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown, when you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be kindled. (NLT)
MATTHEW 28:20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world Amen!
The Lord is near to us. He is nearer than we can even imagine. In that sea of life or in that burning furnace of life, don’t go through it alone, God is there with you, just turn and talk to Him, He will comfort and show you the way out of it. In times past, He was with His people in Tabernacles, where they came to see him and make their offerings, sacrifices, and petitions to Him. Later, he became flesh and dwelt among men, and He went about doing good.
You are precious in God’s sight, and He delights in you, that is why He says He is with you always even to the end of the time (Matthew 28:20). God has given double assurance of His presence by telling you that no matter the level of oppression, difficulty, challenge, trial you are passing through, do not be afraid or dismayed because He is right there with you. He is not just there, but there to save and preserve you, to hear your cry and fulfill your desires |(Psalm 145:19-20).
In case you have called on him, and it seems there is no answer, don’t lose hope or be distracted, He is with you. God also expects us to come closer to Him and establish a strong relationship with Him.
DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU
PRAYER: Oh Lord my God, help me to appreciate your nearness and may nothing keep me far from you. My burden lifter, take over the challenges of my life and give me peace in Jesus name Amen.
