Zephaniah 3:17 – The LORD thy God in the midst of thee, is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing.

O’ how mighty is our God?  The One who is with us always!

While doing my grocery shopping, I picked out strawberries, that were deep red, and looked ripe and delicious.   The aroma was simply heavenly–and  immediately, I thought of the LORD’s sweetness.    I smiled widely, knowing that He is with us always.  No matter what we do, or where we go.  He’s there. A constant source of love and protection at our side.

He is inside.  He is outside.  He is alongside. He is everywhere!

It’s like having our own personal bodyguard!  Only better.  He guards our heart and soul.  He keeps us on the right path.  He restores and refreshes us with His presence.  And, He holds us up with His mighty right hand of righteousness.

O’ what a powerful and mighty God we serve!  The One who is with us always!

How do I know that?

Well, for one thing, I’ve experienced supernatural things that have helped my family, friends, and others,    that could only be according to His Sovereign and Mighty power.

A fellow faith writer , and sister in Christ, told me recently in an email, “there are no co-incidents” only “God-incidents!”  Amen!

They’re all  designed by Him, from Him, for us…always!

O’ What an amazing God He is!  The One who is ever faithful indeed!

His promises are throughout the Bible.

And, Jesus said, “where you will find two or three, there you will find me in the midst” (Matthew 18:20) 

And those “two of three” would be believers.  But, He is always standing by, waiting with outstretched hands, and arms open wide, for us to receive Him.

Yes, you heard me.  He waits even for the unbelievers!

All of us. Big and small. Young and old. Believers and non-believers.  All of us.

His promise “I will never leave you nor forsake you” is true.

He is there, here, everywhere!

“And the LORD, He it is that doth go before thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.“(Deuteronomy 3:18)

So, the next time you go to a dental appointment, or to the doctor’s office. ” He is with you!”

Or, when you are filled with grief, and your soul is aching for the one you’ve lost!  “He is with you.”

When your thoughts are racing in the middle of the night, with issues that seem out of control.  “He is with you.”

When the valley is low, “He is with you.”

When the skies are dark and the water is stormy and rough. “He is with you.”

When you are in the bright sunshine and rejoicing.  “He is with you.”

When a car cuts you off and is menacing you. “He is with you.”

And, if  you pick up a carton of strawberries, that sweet fragrance you delight in is because…

“He is with you!”
