God Is With Us

Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains leave their place and the hills be shaken, My love shall never leave you nor my covenant of peace be shaken, says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

How quickly we lose faith in God when troubles come or things don’t go the way we want them to. But God never turns away! Do we not actually put our faith mostly in things of the world? It’s only when some hardship comes along that we come to see that all the world’s possessions, prestige or power will crumble. We cannot save ourselves. We are unable to control the uncontrollable. It’s in these times that God remains present. Try this exercise. In silence take a long breath inward while praying “Yah”…and then let that breath out while praying “weh.” Yahhhhh…wehhhhh. Yahhhhhhh…wehhhhhh. Yahweh. God is as close to you…as your next breath. God will never leave you. This is Good News!
