Always With You

Set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God. 1 CHRONICLES 22:19 

Faith is powerful. “Faith sees the invisible, hears the inaudible, touches the intangible, and accomplishes the impossible.” But faith is only as good as the one in whom it is placed. Faith is only powerful if it’s vested in an all-powerful God.

“Be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” MATTHEW 28: 20 NLT Are you aware of God’s presence with you— even right now? This is a reality that, at times, cannot be sensed with your emotions. In fact, if you’re hurting or facing a great deal of stress, the Father may seem distant indeed. But if you’re a believer, He has given His Holy Spirit to indwell you— so He is always with you (Ephesians 1: 13– 14). It’s an absolute fact: you can never be out of His presence.

Allow this to give you confidence today. The all-powerful God, your wise Creator and loving Lord, doesn’t leave you to fight battles or figure things out by yourself. His perfect strength, unlimited knowledge, and unfailing love sustain you always— even when you don’t perceive His presence.

So look for God’s intervention, ask what He is teaching you, be sensitive to His promptings, and acknowledge His blessings. Keep watch for His activity in your life. Because when you see how dynamically He is working on your behalf, you’ll be amazed at how profoundly amazing His love and provision for you really are.

Lord, make me sensitive to Your presence. Thank You for opening my spiritual eyes to Your love and activity, amen.

In His presence… acknowledge His provision.

EVERY DAY IN HIS PRESENCE, CHARLES F. STANLEY
