God is with you always…

No matter what you are going through, be assured that God is with you and rest in Him. Take hold of the promises that God has given you and thank Him for sparing your life.

Joseph, being obedient to his father, went on a journey to find the whereabouts of his brothers (Genesis 37:13,14). But he was betrayed by his own brothers and went through tough phases in his life. However, those rough paths did not negate the presence of God in his life; because the Bible says repeatedly that no matter where Joseph was, God was with him!

His brothers plotted to kill him, but God was with him and saved him from being murdered (Genesis 37:18, 21). They put him inside a pit, but God was with him and saved him from starving to death (Genesis 37:24, 26). They then sold him to the Ishmaelites, and he ended up in the house of an Egyptian named Potiphar, but God was with him and blessed everything that he did (Genesis 37:28, 36). Potiphar’s wife falsely accused Joseph and his master sent him to prison, but God was with him even in the prison (Genesis 39:19, 20).

When he was in prison, he would have heard people talk about all kinds of negative things about him. But being a slave, he had no voice and justice was far from him. The whole world around him and his circumstances professed that Joseph was accursed, and he was rejected. But the Scripture says that God was with him even in the prison. He was blessed and anything he set his hands on prospered. He excelled in any place or negative environment he was put in (Genesis 39:2, Genesis 39:23). Do you know why? Because no matter what the situation around him was, God was with Him and showered His favor and mercy upon him.

God was molding him all along the way – and the only thing that kept him moving forward was the assurance of God being with him. Never once did he ever walk alone, and God was faithful to him.

Today, if the situations around you are overwhelming, God is telling you, “Do not worry my dear child, I am with you always.” No matter what you are going through, be assured that God is with you and rest in Him. Take hold of the promises that God has given you and thank Him for sparing your life. In the natural, things might seem unfair. But God in His wisdom will work out things in such a way that even the bad things will turn around for your good. You will come out victoriously (2 Corinthians 2:14).

God bless you.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, I thank you for being with me always. Today, I give my situation (name your situation here) into your hands. You take control and guide me on the right path. I know, that when you are with me, I can come out of this situation victoriously. I thank you in advance for turning around everything in favor of me. Amen.
