God Is With Us

Isaiah 41:10-13
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am  your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand (vs.10).

Welcome to a new quarter and a new month. This month, the Lord will do great things for us and in our lives. Our God will stand by us and be our helper as we acknowledge His word and His presence.

Friend, the word of the Lord for this month is, “Fear not, I am with you”. The Lord wants us to know that we have nothing to fear when He is with us.  He is Jehovah Shammah and He is the Lord Emmanuel. He is the Lord who is always present with us in all our circumstances and wherever we go.

With God’s presence, we have access to all that He is and has – His love, mercy, grace, power and help among others. He told Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you”. See 2 Corinthians 12:9. He rested his faith in God’s presence and help. As a result, he was helped and did what he could not do on his own. He excelled because God’s strength covered his weakness.

God will do the same thing for us. He will give us access to His thoughts and wisdom. The Holy Spirit will reveal His mind to us. See 1 Corinthians 2:9-11. Our duty is to trust and obey as He leads us. Tell yourself: “This month, I will fear no evil because God is with me”. Shalom.
