Thankful That God Is Not A Man

This morning I was thinking about what to write, it occurred to me how men and God are very different. Mankind is known for turning their backs in times of trouble while God never leaves us. The scriptures speak of this many times.

Psalms 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

It is sad when our friends walk away in times of trouble. It is not meant to be that way. We are meant to help each other and live in unity. But even when we fail each other, we can know that God does not leave us. He will not let our enemy triumph over us. Ultimately we win and He holds us up. I am so thankful that God is not a man.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy to be praised. You alone can send Your kingdom to this earth. Please give us Your abundant provision today. Forgive us for walking away from each other. Heal us, both on the outside and on the inside. Deliver us from evil that would come to do us harm. Show us a sign for good. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
