In a world of uncertainty, the only thing that remains the same is God and His love for us. There is nothing we can do to separate us from the love of God. The Bible declares that even if we make our bed in Hell, He will be with us. Knowing this, in the midst of situations, I still find myself looking for God in the daytime with a flashlight, wondering if He sees or if He knows what I’m going through.
The truth of the matter is, God is there. He’s always there. In different seasons of our life, God shows up as what we NEED and not what we WANT and He considers even the smallest of things. The Bible says that God knows how many hairs we have on our head. Why wouldn’t He take notice of the very things that keeps us woke at night, the things that hinders us, or the things that even hurts our feelings?
God knows when we are down to our very last cent and He becomes Jehovah-Jireh, our provider. He knows when we are sick in our bodies and in need of healing, for He becomes Jehovah-Rapha. Its at the darkest hour, at the point of feeling defeat or loss and no one is around, that God becomes Jehovah Shalom, our peace.
It’s also at these very difficult times in our lives, we can take rest and be assured that God knows what’s best and that He will be faithful to meet us at all of our needs. If you are certain of nothing else, be still and know that God is in control.
Intimately,
Yaz
