God Is With Us
“Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.” (Psalms 138:6-7)
Today’s Morsel: A few days ago, I wrote that we cannot escape God. I don’t know why anyone would want to go away from a loving and caring God. Yet some folks do. But as Paul admonished the church at Galatia: “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” (Galatians 3:3) From the time that God led the children of Israel out of bondage, God desired to be with them. He told Moses: “Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering…And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.” (Exodus 25:2,8). God wanted to be with them. For as long as the Ark of the Covenant was present, Israel knew that God was present with them, and so did their enemies. David said that even in the valley of the shadow of death he would fear no evil because he knew that God was with him. The psalmist states: Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. Keeping that in mind, do you remember what Paul said, if God be for us, who can be against us?
Sing: If God be for us, who can be against us. If God be for us, who can be against us. If God be for us, who can be against us, just have faith in the power of the Lord.
Thought For Today: “For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” (Isaiah 41:13)
