TOPIC: “GOD WITH US” 2: He Remains With Us
Memory Verse: Math. 1:23,
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
Bible Reading: Is. 43:2
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.”
The Lord has promised us His presence in any situation we find ourselves. He made it known that, no situation can separate Him from us. The mentality of being alone during difficult times is the device of the devil against our faith. If God is no more with us with, the occurrences around us, we wouldn’t have just died but we could disappear somehow, because, the devil meant business in destroying us, but God is with us all the way.
In Isaiah chapter 43, the Lord was speaking of bringing the exile back to Jerusalem, and he promised to be with them. He categorically mentioned what they may/will come across while going back to their inheritance. God is telling us indirectly that, there will be waters, not just water but waters, Rivers, in plural also, fire will appear, but our anchor should be, God will see us through it. God will walk with us all the way. He walked with the Israelite through the Red Sea, through Jordan, the Hebrew boys went through the fire and came out untouched, that is what God is says to us. It doesn’t matter what your boss is bent on doing to you, the situation of your marriage looks like those that has failed, joblessness, childlessness, rejected, abandoned, cast away, perpetual poverty, God is saying, “I am with you”, we are together in it. Don’t feel that is the end. Be confident that the pain will soon end. God is with you.
You might say I don’t understand, Yes, I don’t. Yes, I’m not the one going through it, but this I know, What God says is what He is working on. He said, i am with you. Speak to Him in that condition, not grudgingly, but as a son will speak to His Father who is ready to hear him. As a daughter whom her mother crave to listen to. May He strengthen you to the end, it will end in the praise of God for you in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
