"God is with us!" Isaiah 8:10',
Back to The Pastor's Morning Visit
The Lord's people are never alone!
God is with them as an Observer. He notices . . .
every thought,
every word,
every action,
every trial,
every foe,
every danger.
He is with them as a Father—loving and holding communion with them.
He is with them as the Lord Almighty—having all power in earth and heaven to help them.
He is with them as a Guide—to lead them.
He is with them as an Advocate—to plead their cause.
He is with them as a Friend—to supply and comfort them.
He is with them as a Saviour —to deliver and exalt them.
He is with them as a holy, sin-hating God—to purify them.
He is present with them . . .
to try them,
to reprove them,
to humble them,
to preserve them,
to comfort them, and
to save them with an everlasting salvation!
Beloved, let us remember that God is with us—everywhere and always! This will . . .
check levity,
prevent impatience,
make us honest,
encourage prayerfulness,
inspire with fortitude,
and produce diligence.
If God is with us thus—then He is for us! And if God is for us—then who can effectually be against us?
