You Are Never Alone

God promises that He will never leave us or forsake us. That’s easy to remember when we are in the midst of blessings. When we see God’s hand moving on our behalf and things are looking up, we are quick to recognize that He is the one working things out in our lives.

But what about when things are difficult? What about when we are struggling? How often have we wondered if God has forgotten us? If He has stopped caring what happens to us? We may know in our heads that God will never leave us but in times of trial it’s harder to convince our hearts. When the storm is raging we can forget His promise to always be with us.

As a parent, would you allow your small child to wander around outside in the middle of the night? What about during a dangerous storm? Of course not.

And neither would God. He would never send you out alone in a storm. He would be right there with you as the winds were blowing and the rain pouring down.

There is a story in the Bible where the disciples are in a boat on the sea and a storm comes up. Jesus is in the stern asleep.  He didn’t fear the darkness or the storm. Why?

Jesus was able to sleep because he knew that his Father never sleeps. He knew they were perfectly safe in his Father’s care.

God doesn’t get distracted. He is always alert and watching out for us in whatever situation we find ourselves. Trust Him to be with you always. He promised he would be.

Psalm 121:3 He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber.

Psalm 37:28 For the LORD loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. He will keep them safe forever, but the children of the wicked will die. (NLT)
