HE IS ALWAYS WITH US

“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”

Isaiah 43:2 KJV

It doesn’t matter how many dark valleys we go through because Jesus is with us through every one of them.  He never leaves us alone, not even for a minute.  When we are lonely and hurting, brokenhearted and in despair our precious Saviour carries us through the valleys and holds us close until the pain goes away.

The last two days I have been in a lot of pain.  My arthritis is really hurting and I’m also having trouble reading.  I have to use a magnifier to read my Bible and even then, the print looks blurry.  Of course, this makes satan happy and he is doing his best to discourage me and stop me from serving Jesus.

It will never happen!  I will serve Jesus until the day I die or God calls me home.  I promised God that I would write devotions as long as He helped me write them.  What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know that God loves us so much He gave His beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins.

Heavenly Father, You are a compassionate loving Father.  Thank You for adopting me into Your family.  How I appreciate the privilege You have given me to serve Jesus.  Thank You for all You have done for me through the years and for all You do for me every day.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
