God Is With Us And For Us
As believers we are truly in an awesome place in this life. Sure, there are times when life gets challenging, maybe a little too challenging, from our point of view. But those are the times when God rises up to be strong on our behalf. He has provided already for our needs to be fulfilled. If we are willing to take the time to look at the scriptures that He has provided where He makes promises to us, it helps us to build our faith and trust in Him. Let’s look at a few examples.
Psalm 113:4-9
4 The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.
Psalm 110:1-2
1 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Proverbs 4:20-23
20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
In these scriptures we see that God has promises and a plan for us. He will lift us up and provide for our needs abundantly. When Jesus (Yeshua) came to earth, God made His enemies His footstool, placing them under Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) feet. Since we as believers are joint heirs with Jesus (Yeshua), we are in that same position! We have victory over the enemy through Him! How? By attending to God’s words, reading the scriptures, and holding those words close in our heart. We need only pray and believe, and wait patiently for God’s deliverance. Isn’t that great?! Praise God!
