Day 164 The
Lord Is With You
Ezekiel 48:35 New International
Version (NIV)
The distance all
around will be 18,000 cubits. And the
name of the city from that time on will be:
THE LORD IS THERE.”
One of the Old Testament Hebrew names for God is Jehovah-Shammah,
which means “The Lord Who Is Present.”
Sometimes we can feel like we are all alone—that God is far off somewhere
working on someone else’s problems—answering someone else’s prayers. The truth is—He is here with you right now as
you are reading this blog.
When I first came to the Lord, I didn’t have much confidence in praying
because I always saw the Father as being preoccupied with other things. My thoughts were—why pray, He is busy and
probably won’t hear you.
That’s not what the Bible says.
Take a look at this!
Genesis 28:15 New International
Version (NIV)
I am with you
and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this
land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
That sounds pretty personal to me! How about you?? It sounds like He is an up close and personal
God!
Here’s another:
1 John 5:14-15 New International
Version (NIV)
This is the confidence we have in approaching God:
that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And
if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked
of him.
You can have the confidence that He
hears you and He is answering your prayers.
You are not in this alone. God is
present with you because He is Jehovah Shammah!
