We Are Not Alone

Have you ever asked God where He is? Or why He has forgotten you. And wonder how you will ever get through a situation.

No matter what we experience in life, God knows there will be times when we will be enveloped in fear and uncertainty that we may lose sight of His presence, He knew there would be circumstances so difficult we would question whether He really loves us and is with us in our suffering.

The Bible tells us we are not like in our circumstances -no matter how difficult they are.

Isaiah 43:2 .tells us,

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overtake you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.”

No matter how difficult and no matter how dark the season you find yourself walking through, God is with you. He promises to meet you in your pain and to help you,

Isiah 42:10 tells us,

“Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with my right hand of my righteousness.”

There is no reason to fear, because we are not alone. God is and always will been there for every tear and every sorrow.

When I think back to my younger years. I can see God was there all the time. But when I was going through it, I felt like I was alone, but I wasn’t. I’ve been in some situations that could have led to disaster yet I had God’s protection through it all.

There are moments in suffering when we are certain is it the end, that latest painful experience that leaves us a knockout blow. But that is never the case. Because if it’s not good, God’s not done,

Isaiah 43:18-19 tells us,

“Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, it springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a wat in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

God sees the devastation left in our past and the perilous journey of the future. At every turn, God is working to make a way through the wasteland that was made of our lives and our hearts. Even when cannot see it. Often our greatest danger is giving up before His deliverance unfolds.

No matter what we’ve lost, God is working behind the scenes to restore our lives and hearts more than we ever thought possible.

Ephesians 3:20,

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.“

It is not the end of the story, only an intermission, and the best is yet to come.
