GOD will never forsake me. Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee". God's ways are different from our ways. Families and friends may forsake you when trials and tribulations come like it did to Job in the Bible. He lost all his worldly possessions and children but God was surely with Job though outwardly it did not seem so. It was ONLY a test of Job's faithfulness to God.
GOD will always protect me. Psalms91:1-2 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust". I read a story of a godly christian family whose community was hit by a tornado. Prior to this event, this family had spent time in prayers to God to spare their lives. This christian family's house was the 8th house on their street.Most houses in America are in a row or block. The tornado did hit the first 7 houses, crossed over the 8th house and continue down it's path of destruction.
The word of God in Psalms 34:15" The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry". The righteous are believers that faithfully obey the Lord, His fear are in their hearts always, they do not seek to please SELF but rather want to bring glory to the name of God. Choosing God is not the absence of sufferings and tribulation but relying on Him to give you the grace to go THROUGH it.
God is my Armour. In the book of Ephesians 6:10-18 "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. ...". Relationship is never one sided. God will be an armour to you if you obey Him.
Most of us are parents. Do you buy a car for your child in college with all Ds, Es, Fs, or one with all As and Bs. Are you proud of a child that never does house chores, watches tv or video games all day, or proud of a child that does her chores, reads her book, watch minimal tv etc. You get the picture. God is our Father and we are His children. He expects us to obey and follow His ordinances in other to protect us from the wiles of the enemy.
Choosing God comes with alot of blessings and incentives. Like peace, contentment, sound mind, joy, lack of fear, courage, etc. Choosing God and obeying His word brings us everlasting life through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You will never find this in the world. Remain bless and endure to the end.
