Jesus is with you!

All things, absolutely all, work together for your good when you love God. Your medical report works together for your good. Your family life works together for your good. Even your professional difficulties can work together for your good, by the grace of God.

In the midst of your greatest sufferings, God remains the shepherd of your life. He doesn’t create misfortune and hardship. But He wants and knows how to turn it to your advantage! His love will not leave you in difficulty...He will transform difficulty into an occasion to surprise you by His grace!

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.” (Romans 8:28, NLT, bold added)

One day, the disciples were crossing the Sea of Galilee while Jesus was sleeping in the boat. All of a sudden, a great storm came upon them. The disciples, though they were fishermen and used to navigation, panicked and woke Jesus up: “‘Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?’ When Jesus woke up, He rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Silence! Be still!’ Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.” (Mark 4:38-39, NLT)

Jesus was definitely there, even if He had dozed off.

Jesus is there, close to you, with you, and for you. He can command your storm to cease. He can calm the violent elements with a word.

“The disciples were absolutely terrified. ‘Who is this man?’ they asked each other. ‘Even the wind and waves obey Him!’” (Mark 4:41, NLT)

Know that everything obeys Him! All things are subject to Him, and His faithfulness endures for you...from generation to generation.

Let’s take a moment to pray...“Lord Jesus, what a joy it is to know You! Thank You for Your Word that builds me up, makes me grow, upholds me. Your Word is marvellous; it’s truly my support at all times. Again today, be my defender, my hero, and may all things work together for my good, as it is written in Your Word. In Your name, amen.”

Thanks for existing…You are a miracle!
