A
reminder for today
And
Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here, for the LORD has told me to go to
Bethel." But Elisha replied, "As surely as the LORD lives and you
yourself live, I will never leave you!" So they went down together to
Bethel. (2 Kings 2:2)
I just love that about Elisha. The bond that was between
him and Elijah had grown to this amazing friendship that kept them together.
Elisha standing in the shadow of this amazing prophet shows so much strength in
his character and it is in this that we see clearly why God had chosen Elisha
as the one to take Elijah’s place.
I am thinking about the part “I will never leave you”. In this scripture that stood out in this
verse and so I was wondering about friendship and if you feel that way about
your friend, but what the Lord is turning my attention to and what He wants you
to take out of this is the fact that the Lord will never leave you.
My dear friend, I feel that I have to remind you about
this today. He will be with you; He will
neither fail you nor abandon you." (Deut 31:8) I do not know what is
happening in your life and where you stand with the Lord and what is about to
happen, but what I do know and I say this from my own experience. The Lord is
with you and He wants you to know that. You are not alone in this struggle nor
will you ever be. He will keep you standing, He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not
slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps (Psalm
121:3-4).
Come with me today as we proclaim to the world that the
Lord our God is with us and He is an almighty God. There is no more fear, no
more worries and no more pain. He is the creator of the universe, the one who
made you and me. He stands beside us and He will carry us through.
Three
different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said,
"My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I
am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through
me. That's why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults,
hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am
weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:8-10)
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
