Throughout history we read of many men and women of God who trusted the Lord in the midst of trials, persecutions, jails, lions, bad people, etc. While reading the Word of God you can’t miss a very important statement that comes out of the very mouth of God "I Will be with you". It is a life changing experience when you believe Him at His Word. Let me take you to couple of scripture so you can understand it better.
Take a look at what God told Gideon (Judges 6:16) GOD said to him, "I'll be with you. Believe me, you'll defeat Midian as one man." Guess what? When you read chapter seven, you see in fact that God was with Gideon all the way. Open your Bible and read it for yourself. Here’s another: Joshua 1:8-9 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
When you read the book of Joshua you see God fighting for Joshua. I get so excited about this particular one because it’s got to be one of my favorites. Here you see something you don’t see in other parts of the Bible. It actually shows you how important it is to believe God at His Word, and what happens when you do. Check this out: Joshua 10:12-14 On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel:
"O sun, stand still over Gibeon,
O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."
So the sun stood still,
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on its enemies,
as it is written in the Book of Jashar.
The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a man. Surely the LORD was fighting for Israel!Basically Joshua asked God to stop the whole universe… Wow!!! And God did. Now pay attention to this: God is telling you the same thing now Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."He Says He will be with you. You can count on that!!! Regardless of your short comes, difficulties, trials, tribulations, hardships, let downs... Always remember this: He will be with you FOREVER and EVER and EVER.
For His Glory
