He is for you...
The day after the 2020 Election in the USA. There is no winner, everything is uncertain. There is a buzzing of fear, nervousness and doubts – and this is just what I’m feeling. (I’m also currently reading the book “1984” by George Orwell so that does nothing to calm my mind.)
However, a few themes are running through my head. God is in control, I don’t need to fear, be nervous or doubt anything. Trust Him. Seek Him.
The song “The Blessing” by Elevation Worship is playing in our Forgiven Jewelry offices and over and over again I hear “He is for you, He is for you…”
May His presence go before you
And behind you, and beside you
All around you, and within you
He is with you, He is with you
In the morning, in the evening
In your coming, and your going
In your weeping, and rejoicing
He is for you, He is for you
He is for you, He is for you
He is for you, He is for you
He is for you, He is for you
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
Two bible verses come to mind also today:
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9
So there is comfort in knowing:
- God’s thoughts and ways are higher than my thoughts and ways
- God’s presence is with me, and all around me at all times
- God is for me in all things, and all circumstances and situations
Because of this, I can claim the following:
- I don’t have a spirit of fear, but one of power
- I have a spirit of love
- I have a sound mind (in other words no nervousness or doubts)
Whatever happens, and whatever the election results are, I can trust that God’s presence is with me, and that He is for me. Please do the same. If you need prayer please email me at jill@forgivenjewelry.com
