Genesis 28:15
Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.

Whether we understand it or not, God is truly the only person always with us. We have family and children but that relationship is different than the relationship with God. God in His word speaks so much for us, about us and to us for the betterment of our lives. He promises not to leave us or forsake and He is faithful who promised

Psalm 103:10,12

He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

Our praise for God in heaven should be high today as we remember what God did for us through His Son.  Jesus went to the cross to be battered and bloodied for our sins.  God knew we would never be able to survive the consequences of our sins.  How great a love does God have for us that He gave so much for our redemption back into fellowship with Him.

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

New doesn’t have a memory of the past and is full of optimism and hope for the future.  New doesn’t carry the burdens from the past which would weigh it down and keep it from fulfilling God’s plan.  Every one of us who is born again has been made new.  So!  Why are we still looking back at the past?  If we haven’t changed from our old way that is one thing, but if we have changed we need to forget the past and stop thinking about those mistakes.

Isaiah 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.

If the devil can make us feel alone, we will, but God being with us is not about feeling but faith.  The word reminds us that He will never leave us or forsake us and the harder we lean into to God the closer He comes to us.  We need to remind ourselves of this when we go through the valleys and wonder where God is?  He is standing right beside you, walking with you.

Romans 10:7

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

When we become fully persuaded by something, we believe it in our hearts.  Our faith will increase when we study the word, say it out loud until we become fully persuaded that what we are praying will come to pass.  The more we hear the word of God the more revelation we will have on the word of God, and then our FAITH will come in what we believe for.

1 John 5:14-15

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.  And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

We have trouble in this life because we don’t know what we can ask God for.  We spend time looking outside of the bible to find answers when all our solutions are in the bible.  Our healing, finances, insecurity, love, marriage, wisdom all are in the bible.  We need to look the scriptures up and read them and say them out loud until we believe what the bible says.  Then, pray in faith according to the word and God will hear our prayers.

Luke 16:10

He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.

The motivation of right and wrong begins in our hearts.  If we are wicked or good in our hearts, our actions will show them.  Our conscious will bear witness with the spirit, and we will be convicted to do what is right when we are connected to God.  It is true that we bear fruit according to what we believe in our heart.  Let us be the best example of all the good the God represents.

4 Psalm 103:5

Who satisfies your mouth with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the eagles.

We are all aging, and sometimes our bodies will like to talk to us with pain and symptoms.  Remember your Father the healer said He would renew your youth.  We were promised 120 years of life now take those years by faith and speak to the symptoms of aging.  Apply your faith for healing, delve into the word to get a picture of yourself healed and whole.

Proverbs 10:27

The fear of the Lord prolongs days,

But the years of the wicked will be shortened.

The Lord wants us to live long and strong in this life.  How do we do that?  We confess His word for healing, safety, wisdom, and guidance.  A wicked person would never turn to God for anything, he doesn’t fear God.  We as Christians honor and respect the power of God and pray for His guidance.  That guidance and wisdom from God will prolong our days and bring us good things.

Proverbs 11:28

He who trusts in riches will fall,

But the righteous will flourish like foliage.

God has more knowledge of how to get the best out of thislife than any bank account.  There isnothing wrong with having money, but your trust should be in God.  When we know the word of God and act on it,we will flourish and prosper.  We won’tbe operating in fear because our faith and the word will provide the answers weneed.
