You Are Never Alone

GOD ETERNALLY WATCHES OVER HIS SAINTS!

By Ezekiel Kimosop

Nothing is perhaps more assuring in our walk of obedience in Christ than to know that God eternally watches over those who have a covenant relationship with Him.

Psalm 121 and other relevant passages of Scripture gives this assurance.

Nothing ever happens to the children God without His foreknowledge and permissive will. No matter what pain or affiliations we go through God always walks with us. If only we can discern this truth!

There are circumstances in our lives when we find ourselves in situations of doubt; when the world seems to collapse upon us. The enemy takes advantage of these situations to discourage us and cause us to doubt God.

However, such situations are temporal because God will finally come for us and we shall rejoice in Him, knowing that His purposes have been served in our affiliations.

God will never permit a situation that overuns our faith. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."

Any afflictions we suffer are only meant to serve God's divine purposes for us. They are NEVER intended to destroy us!

We serve a great God who sovereignly reigns over all dominions and whose word must be fulfilled in the end.

He is the God of the mountains and the God of the valleys. He will never forsake us or abandon us.

The Syrians learnt a hard lesson when they mocked His name and belittled His power.

1 Kings 20:28-29 says "Then a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The Lord is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.’” 29 And they encamped opposite each other for seven days. So it was that on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand foot soldiers of the Syrians in one day."

Be encouraged in the LORD as you serve God and worship Him in truth and in spirit. Our eternal destiny is firmly in His hands.
