Dear Precious ones in Christ,
In whatever you’re going through, remember you’re not alone: God is with you and He will go before you. It is He, who guides you all the time. That’s the reason, David says, “Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand” (Psalm 73:23). He will hold your hand and lead you and grant you prosperity in life, “The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail” (Isaiah 58:11).
The scripture tells us that, when the Israelites walked their way in the wilderness, they were clueless as to how they will reach a place, to which they were complete strangers. But, the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud and by night in a pillar of fire (Exodus 13:21). God performed various miracles before them, so that they had nothing to fear about. He divided the waters of the Red Sea and made a pathway for them to walk through, so that their feet would not get wet (Exodus 14:21,22). Likewise, my dear friends, God will never allow you to go through the paths of tribulation, all by yourself. He is always with you, to guide you, so that your feet don’t get swollen and your clothes will not wear out (Deuteronomy 8:4).
Men may fail you but the Lord your God, will never fail you or forsake you. He has promised to always walk beside you and make you His well-watered garden (Song of Solomon 4:12). When Jacob left his family, he walked alone as he was clueless about things, that lay in store for him (Genesis 28:10). He would have been in a state of fear and anxiousness, as he was uncertain about the unknown future. But, he was not alone, for the Lord was with him and gave him a vision (Genesis 28:15). And whatever God promises, He fulfills.
Also, Jacob traveled empty handed, fearing what may befall him. But the Lord, gave him abundant blessings so that he was fully satisfied. God blessed all the works of his hands and Jacob was blessed so much so that even his father-in-law was jealous of him (Genesis 31:1,2). Similarly, the Lord will bless you in all your endeavors. He will lift you up before your relatives, before your colleagues and before every one. The mighty hand of God, which holds you will bless you. Never get disheartened, even if you’re all alone in this world. Just remember, God Almighty is there for you. He’s watching over you. Even if your relatives, your loved ones have forgotten you; God hasn’t forgotten. He has inscribed you on the palms of His Hands (Isaiah 49:16). So, trust in the Lord and believe in His promises.
Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father,
I seek your guidance in all my ways, in all the uncertainties, that I may have to face. I believe you will never leave me nor forsake me. Bless the works of my hands and grant me success in all my undertakings.
In the matchless name of Jesus I pray,
Amen
