Then his people recalled the days of old, the days of Moses and his people—where is he who brought them through the sea, with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he who set his Holy Spirit among them . . . (Isa 63:11 NIV)
. . . just as I promised your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt. Don’t worry. My Spirit is right here with you. (Hag 2:5 CEV)
Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. (Zech 4:6 ESV)
For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you. (Heb 13:5 NKJV)
For all of us who wonder, “Where is God?” The Scriptures have given us answers as we can see from the passages shown above.
The Lord, who created us in His own image, has promised that He will NEVER leave us or forsake us. In the midst of sorrow, pain, and challenging circumstances, meditate upon these Bible passages.
When we fancy that God is far from us, and is not moving in any way to help us—we must realize that we are mistaken. We are in too much pain or in too much worry to see the truth. The enemy of our souls will do everything within his power to prevent us from seeing the truth—that God is with us at all times.
God is supplying His grace and His mercy to whatever our situation is. He is operating in the spiritual, unseen realms to bring us to His victory: for which Jesus has already paid the complete price.
Meditate upon the stripes that Jesus bore; the painful crown of thorns that were beat into His head by Roman soldiers; the cross that He carried for miles; and the ignominious death that He suffered all for you and for me. After Jesus’ death, the mighty power of the Holy Spirit raised Christ from the dead, and carried Him to the right hand of God in heaven.
Jesus fulfilled His destiny, so that all human beings would be able to have a deep and abiding relationship with the Lord. He has promised He is with us to the end of the age. (Mt 28:20) Oh, joy!
