Hebrews 13:5…. For He (God) Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. (I will) not, (I will) not, (I will) not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down (relax My hold on you)! (Assuredly not!).
Life can feel a bit like that, where the problems loom up and look like they’re ganging up on us so much it can seem like we’re in the deep dark wood! It’s when we need to draw a breath and remind ourselves God is in the middle of the situation with us and He’s promised to not let us go, He won’t fail us and won’t leave us without support.
When we drove back out the wood we were basking in full daylight again with the sun streaming down, and if we can possibly stand back from our difficulties for a minute, by going for a walk to breathe fresh oxygen in, or just doing something different, it can sometimes help put things back into perspective.😊
But above all that, we know we have the help of the Holy Spirit Himself who understands, and knows all about it, and knows us so well. He’s not a million miles away but inside us and Jesus said He will guide, strengthen, counsel and comfort us, but how many times do we forget to call for His help and struggle on our own?
Jesus said to speak to our mountain, and if it’s a mountain of darkness hanging over us we can speak to it and tell it to be removed, and ask for Jesus to give us His light in it all.
So next time it looks like things are ganging up on you, take a moment to remember God is for you not against you. He loves you, He’s totally committed to you, and He has promised to hold you steady, to give you the wisdom and grace you need for each day. He is our Rock. Thank You Lord.
