Weekly Devotion

" Never Alone"

As I sit here trying to write what this weeks devotion is to be , I am struggling. I ask myself why? Have I run out of faith? Do I not trust God in my time of need? Are you even there Lord? I have so much going on in my life and around me that I can not even see you. Do you not know what I'm feeling Lord? Where are you? I sit in tears feeling alone and scared wondering what the next step is going to bring me. Is it joy, peace, the answer?

But in the next breath the song from Barlow Girl comes to my mind, "Never Alone". In this song she is asking God where are you, I can't see you, I can't feel you, you told me to call you when I needed you in the most desperate time. But in the end of the chorus it says, "I'll hold tight to what I know cause you are here and I'm never alone".

Though we may feel like He is not here, and we can't feel Him, in Joshua 1:5 God said "Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you." Also in Matthew 28:20 Jesus said, " And surely I am with you always, to the very end of age."

God has not forgotten about us. God has not given up on us. God hears the crying of our heart. We just need to rest in His arms, keep our faith, and let Him do the rest.

Dear Lord,

In this time of feeling alone we need you. Let us open our hearts to you. Let us fall in you arms and rest. Help us to let you be the guide in out life. Trusting you with every step that comes our way. Even if we know not what the end results may be help us to put our trust back in you, knowing that you will always be there.

Weekly Devotion Time

The Eyes of the Lord

Proverbs Chapter 15

When evil seems to triumph over good in the world around us, or even in our own families, our faith in God's presence and justice can waver.

Here in Proverbs 15:3 Solomon reminds us of a faith-enhancing truth: God is fully aware, every moment, of what is going on in the world he created as well as in the heart of every person (Proverbs 15:11).

No deed or motive, whether good or evil, escapes his notice. For those whose sin is covered by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ this is good news indeed.

Not only is God diligently keeping loving watch over us, but he is keeping tabs on those who have rejected him. While he wants every person to bow in repentance and become his own (2 Peter 3:9), we have his word that those who have no regard for his ways will be dealt with justly and those who love him will be blessed (2 Th. 2:10-17; Rev 21:6-8).

Dear Lord,

As we go out this week may we be reminded that you are watching our every thought and action. Helps us oh Lord to be careful of the good and evil that is around us. Let us be mindful of what comes in and and what goes out. Thank you Lord for your might and protection over our lives.

Amen
