When God is Our All in All

Isaiah 54:17 NIV
“No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord.”

In 2003, a young lady named Bethany swam out further than the other surfers, looking for waves. Suddenly a shark took her by the arm which resulted in her losing 60% of her blood before receiving emergency medical treatment. A paramedic whispered to her, “God will never leave you, nor forsake you.” She still remembers that single moment as a moment of hope. She went on to recover and became a top surfer in America.

God is our salvation. Even when bad things happen to us—when we feel defeated, we can trust and not be afraid.

Psalms 46:1-3 says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way, and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, and the mountains quake with their surging.”

When God is everything to us, we live expecting God’s favor but even when bad things happen to us or those that we love, we stand in faith, hope, believing that He will never leave us or forsake us. We can stand on this promise of God, no weapon formed against us shall prevail against us, it will not be successful, because we stand on the promises of God.

Prayer:
Lord, I keep my eyes on You, that way, when troubles come, my eyes will not be on the circumstances, but on You. I know You, I believe, and I trust in You, and Your promises. In Your name Lord Jesus, Amen!
