I Will Be With You

I have been thinking about those 5 words of promise spoken by God so many times throughout scripture.  The words He spoke to the heroes of faith - Moses, Joshua, and Gideon... just to name a few.

“I will be with you.”

A little investigation into the word “with” brings clarity and insight we might otherwise miss.  The word “with”, according to the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary, means this, “on the side of, noting friendship or favor; in company; in society; in connection; noting confidence; in partnership; among; upon.”

Is this beautiful or what?

“I will be WITH you.”

And just as God was with those biblical characters in ancient days, He is, too, WITH you and me.  Those of us who are disciples of Jesus... those of us who desire to follow in His ways and are serious about the assignment given to "pick up your cross daily and follow Me"... He says, "I will be with you."

"I will be WITH you."
I will be on your side.
I will be your friend.
I will give you My favor.
I will be in your company.
I will be in society with you.
I will be in connection with you.
I will be the confidence you need.
I will be in partnership with you.
I will be among you.
I will be upon you.

Wow... friend!  LOOK!  Just LOOK at these promises He has for you and I today!

Write them down!
Remember them daily!
Recite them out loud if you have to!

Do whatever it takes to remember, recall, and repeat!
Remember what He’s said.
Recall it to memory as often as you can.
Repeat it as often as you can to whomever will listen!

It matters more than we could ever know.

He's WITH you today, friend!
You face no thing alone!
