Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

[Matthew 28:16-20]

The Promise…

Good Morning Beloved!

Happy Friday! … Jesus said that He would “never leave us nor forsake us”. How long is never? No matter where we are… there He is. Sometimes so silent we wonder if He didn’t turn His head away from us. I’ve heard the heart cry of many of God’s people who want to know “why?”. Why are they going through what they’re going through. Why is the wicked seemingly prospering even as they curse and mock the name of God at every turn. We are not alone in that sentiment. All throughout the Bible God’s own have had the same question… from Job to Jesus. Why? We have the benefit of seeing how their stories turned out, but our own story isn’t finshed yet. God is turning situations around, and strengthening us in the middle of where we are. On my job I have been stretched and tested for the past two weeks. The blessing of having God’s Word in me, is that in the midst of whatever-it speaks to my heart and encourages me. I am learning things that will stand me in good stead. Valuable information. Keeping in mind that God has promised that He would be with us always. He will never leave nor forsake us. How many have said that they could not have deserted Jesus, if they saw Him with their own eyes. In the text, we learn that some of Jesus disiciples that were with Him, who witnessed His miracles first-hand.. doubted. We have the benefit of not only knowing what they knew, but we have had our own experiences. Didn’t He make a way before? Remember, His “ways are not our ways, nor His thoughts our thoughts”. “All things” really will “work together for our good” … it may not BE good, but it will work out FOR our good. I am typing this offering of love, but our story, even though it is still being written out in our everyday life, in the eyes of the Master it is already finished… and it is a best seller. He knows that.. He’s just waiting for us to catch up with Him and know that too.
