God is with you

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4

Even in our worst of times God is available for comfort and for courage. Sometimes though, we simply do not ask. We plod along stubbornly--falsely believing that we are strong enough, smart enough, and wise enough to tackle what besets us.

And somehow we often manage… but the cost in sleepless nights and anxiety often leaves us weak and so very tired. How often relationships around us suffer as well…

There is a better way of living life. A way that is hedged in between the discipline of God (his rod) and his salvaging us out of another hard scrap (his staff). There is a way that is not glamorous yet is peaceful, is not boastful and yet is confident, and that is the awesome undercurrent in our lives.

That is the acknowledgement of God is your life. The belief in what God’s Word has stated for your life that is that he loves you and he is with you. There is rest and comfort and courage in this belief and hope that will keep you sailing even under the most troubling circumstances.

God is with you today and everyday. Have you yet accepted this promise of his?
