Heb 13:5-6 “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”

There are times in life when it seems that everything and everyone is against you! It is in these times that we must lean on the everlasting arms of Christ! When I think of the promise that Christ will always be with us, I think of the Israelites when they left Egypt.

What a great step of faith this was on their part. They leave Egypt with no military power, setting out for a land that they will have to conquer, while leaving a land that might try (and did try) to conquer them again. Yet, they had God with them. He was with them when they left, and He was with them the entire trip. I think it was interesting that He did not make them just have faith that he was there, but He made his presence known. Though they did not see God in a human form and He did not always speak and say “Go this way” and was never vary far ahead of them, He WAS always there and always leading. This is true for our lives as well. We cannot point to a visible object and say, “see there God is, I know he is with me,” but He is always there and he tells us this in MANY different ways, from promises in the Bible to little good things that happen during the day. Often times he may not be speaking to us in an audible voice, or even giving us direction far in advance, yet he is always there, leading, protecting, guiding, and loving.

Live in rest and share the Good News, because God is with you!
