God is always with you..

My preacher told a joke in church on Sunday. "There was an old man driving his wife to the store. She started talking about how they use to sit next to each other in the car, hold hands and laugh. Now they don't hold hands or sit next to each other. He looked over at her in the passenger seat and said, who moved?" That same concept applies in our walk with the Lord. In turmoil we always think that the Lord left us or that He is not by our side anymore. It is not the Lord that left our side. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."Joshua 1:9 We are the ones that leave His side. He walks a straight line, from here to heaven. We need to make sure that we know, when ever we feel like the Lord has left or forsaken us, it is us who have left His side. The worldly lives we lead make it easy to leave Him and hard to get back to Him. In Romans 12:2 it talks about not conforming to the world. "And do not be conformed to this world, , but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans 12:2. That is why when we do go astray all we have to do is confess your sins and ask for forgiveness. This comes from 1John 1:8-9 " If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." What an awesome God we serve. Thank you God for sending your only son to die for us so that we have the ability to ask forgiveness and be cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb, Jesus!!! How great He is! "You are my Lord, apart from You, I have no good things." Psalm 16:2 Sorry I can get to rambling on when it comes to what Jesus has done for us!!!! OK, so back to what I was trying to say!!! The Lord is with us always, He is among us in everything we do. Good or Bad........ The last scripture I am going top leave you with is a goodie!! It comes from Revelations 21:3 "And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be with then and be their God." In good times and bad the Lord is always with you. If you feel like He's not with you anymore, go back read these scriptures and ask yourself, WHO MOVED?
God Bless You and remember that you are God's greatest!!!
