SURELY!

Psalm 54:4 NIV Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.

Sometimes we hear a true story of what has just happened in someone’s life and we’re shocked, so we say “Surely not!” We can’t believe what we’re hearing, it’s either too terrible or too wonderful for us to believe it.

Well, God has several ‘surelys’ for us today! God doesn’t add any ‘not!’ Each one of them is wonderful and because the Holy Spirit put ‘surely’ in front of each statement, He was verifying the certainty and truth of what He was about to say. He’s saying there is no question about it, so believe it.😊

Psalm 23:6 NLT Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 5:12 NIV Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Matthew 28:20 NIV  …And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Isaiah 53:4 NIV Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

Psalm 54:4 NIV Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.

I expect you can find many more ‘surelys’ but all five of these cover everything from God’s guaranteed help, His goodness and mercy, His favour, His presence and His healing. They are all ours for sure!😊

Now, in light of all that, I hope we’ll go out into our new week with renewed confidence in our God and in what He has declared over us. We can lay hold of it all by faith at any given moment, no matter how things may look in the natural and say, “Thank You Lord, it’s all mine for sure, because of Jesus. Hallelujah!” Amen.
