God is With You!!
Today I want to dedicate this message to the many spouses who are feeling low at this time and are going through frustration, loneliness, doubt and fear. This message is only for those who are really really down, and are questioning God. Those driven down by despair, loneliness, grief, pain, suffering. It is also a message for those who are having a feeling of rejection because they don't have that special someone with them.
Isaiah 53:3 talks about the pain that Christ endured during His life on earth: "He was despised and rejected… a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief."
It's at those times when we are at the end of our own strength that God can work best through us. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Paul wrote, "He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
When God allows trials to come into our lives, Peter says it's "so that our faith will be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed." (1 Peter 1:6,7)
God's strength takes over and gets us through, when we've reached the point of more than we can handle on our own. ( John 15:5 says, "Apart from me you can do nothing.)
This is why Paul boasted about his weaknesses instead of trying to hide them. He acknowledged that he had no strength himself, yet he was more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37) by God's strength and power, which worked through him.
If you are trusting the Lord to see you through, I can say with confidence that He will not fail nor forsake you. Therefore we can confidently say "…that neither death nor life…nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39).
You are never alone in your situation because you are fully known and fully understood by God. No matter what you face and no matter what burdens you must bear, God is with you, because He will never leave or forsake you, even during this time.
Today I am praying that you will feel His awesome presence in your midst, whether you are at home or with friends. Did He not promise that He wil never leave or forsake us? Did He not promise that He neither slumbers nor sleep? Did He not promise that we are the Apple of His eyes? Did He not promise that He will be with us always?
Dear Lord: Your Presence. Let Your very Presence be felt strongly. Show Yourself strong in this situation. Let Your very presence be felt, in Jesus' name, amen.
As always, I pledge to stand and pray for each of you daily.
