READ: ISAIAH
43:2-6
God is
everywhere. This assures me of safety, anytime, anywhere. It is for this that
the Bible says in Psalm 46:1 that: “GOD is our refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble.” Anytime you find yourself in trouble, as a
child of God, you will find God by your side. He will answer you anytime you
need Him. You don’t have to doubt this at all. The fact that God is everywhere
is however likely to make some people uncomfortable, especially those who wish
to continue to live in sin. They would want God to take His eyes off them once
in a while. But if he takes His eyes of you, the lion will get you. God is
ever-present help in the time of trouble. Of course, there some times when we
think that God is slow and we wonder why He does not seem to be acting as
quickly as we would want Him to. God is never slow or late; He is always on
time. God is everywhere all the time, whereas the devil can be only in one
place at a time. Because God is with us every time, that is why he says in
Isaiah 43:2 that He will be with us when we pass through the river and through
fire. On those occasions when we pass through fire, God will be with us so that
it will not burn us. He will also keep neutralising the bullets of the enemies,
according to Isaiah 54:17 that says: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.”
He is aware that some people will constantly be fashioning out new weapon to
try against us. But if they try them against God’s own people, they will not
work because God will be by the side of His people. The enemies may gather
themselves together but God will scatter them. God is for us; not one can be
against us. He is our shield and buckler. In fact, He is our strong tower. Just
as mountains surround Jerusalem; our God surrounds us with impenetrable walls
of fire. Therefore, we are untouchable.
MEMORIZE:
PSALM 57:7 –My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing
and give praise.
