I Will Be Here For You!
"Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10)
I remember sitting at my desk in my office at a church I was serving as pastor, listening to a song my son was playing drums to entitled: "I Will Be Here For You" by Michael W. Smith. I was pretty discouraged at the time, and in hearing the words, and the melody of that song, it lifted my spirits. if you listen to that song, the words are close to being what God spoke to His people through the prophet Isaiah.
In the midst of the challenges and trials in our lives, we need for God to be there for us.
We need not to "fear, or be dismayed, because God will strengthen us, He will uphold us, with His righteous right hand."
But there are many today, who do not believe that there is a God, who would light the way for them, and be the strength they need in dealing with the troubles they face. We need to give God a chance to be personal with us. The more we draw near to Him, the more we will feel that inner strength.
I remember prior to my prostate cancer surgery, I had spent a lot of time in prayer, because honestly I was afraid. I had not had cancer before, and I had not had surgery before. But the strangest feeling occurred to me, the day of my surgery. I was not afraid! It was as if I had a bolstering of inner strength, while in the hospital, and during my recovery.
God is so good, and faithful to stand by our side, if we draw near to Him, and embrace His presence and grasp the strength of His Word.
I don't know what you are going through today, but I encourage you. Let God be there for you. You will find that in His time, and in His way, He will be there for you, in all of your trouble and trials,
