God is with Us
Hosea 14:9
Let those who
are wise understand these things. Let those
who are
discerning listen carefully. The paths of the LORD
are true and
right, and righteous people live by walking in
them. But
sinners stumble and fall along the way.
(NLT)
The Lord has never left us
to our own demise, even though we chose to live apart from Him. He knew we
could never defeat the evil without Him. Throughout the history of mankind God
has been directing and implementing His perfect Plan for Redemption. Nothing
slips by our Sovereign God. He is always with us, guiding our ways for the good
of His Kingdom. The Lord created us in such a way that we would always need His
help, especially while we live in this evil world. God has graciously given us
His written Word so that we might gain the wisdom to live wisely and righteously
and walk in His ways. God also gave us His Son, who saved us from our sins and
the condemnation that this evil world will suffer at the end of time. And in
the greatest love, selflessness, and humility, our Lord God, Christ Jesus, gave
up His life so ours would not be lived in vain. And to help us achieve
perfection, the Lord sent the Holy Spirit, who helps us accomplish what would
have otherwise been impossible for us—overcoming the evil that hold us in
bondage to sin and death.
The Lord God is not the
supreme dictator who forces you against your will. Instead, He is your loving
Father in Heaven, who gives you opportunities to choose the path of your
choice. God allows you to make mistakes, which helps you learn from first-hand
experiences. He gives you the mental capacity and the ability to research and
weigh all the different options you have. He gives you the plain truth and the
common sense to see how your choices will affect you and what the end results
will bring. Most people choose to take
the world’s path, opting to go after those things that satisfy our selfish
human desires, which unbeknownst to them, leads into a darkness that is
difficult to navigate and eventually leads into the abyss. God’s path, on the other hand, is brightly
lit with the glory of the Lord and you can see clearly what lies ahead. You are
able to choose the right path that is not only the best for you, but also for
those around you. And by remaining in the Light of the Living God, you will
gain personal access into God's Presence where He comforts you in your times of
trouble, gives you the courage to stand firm in the right choices you make, and
the solid guarantee that you will make it safely Home—a glorious destination
that awaits your arrival into the Savior's loving arms.
A
Whisper of Hope
I Am with you
always…dear child. I do not slumber
nor do I get distracted. I Am always
there to help you in every way. I watch
over you every moment of your life, even when you are walking away from
Me. I love My children as a Father
should. You are safely in My
care…ALWAYS!
Jude 24
And now, all
glory to God, who is able to keep
you from
stumbling, and who will bring you
into His
Glorious Presence innocent of sin and
with great
joy. (NLT)
For you were once darkness,
but now you are light in the Lord.
(Ephesians 5:8)
