God can and always will. 24. Jul 2024 On The Way In Love Have you ever faced trial after trial in your life and just sometimes wondered if God could really rescue you or even if God was still there? Well, as always, let’s see what the Bible has to say! “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall flame scorch you” (Isa 43:2; NKJV). That is pretty clear and encouraging. We don’t need to fear when things come against us because God is our strength (Ps 27:1), He will help us and hold us up (Isa 41:10). The writer of Hebrews goes a step further and assures us that with God helping us, people can’t do anything to us (Heb 13:6). God tells us to give Him all our burdens and cares and He won’t let us be shaken (Ps 55:22). The apostle Peter emphasizes that we should give God all of our cares and not just some (1 Peter 5:7). I am sure that means that we should give them to God and not pick them up again and worry. There are many places in the Bible where we read, “He (I) will never leave you nor forsake you” (e.g. Deut 31:6,8; Heb 13:5; 1 Chron 28:20; NKJV). This refers to God and the psalmist added that God is always with us (Ps 73:23). God is with us wherever we are (Josh 1:9). Jesus assured His disciples and us that, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matt 28:20; NKJV). We just need to look to God, believe His word, ask for His help and remember that nothing is too hard for Him (Luke 1:37).
