I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You
Michael Edwards
"I will never leave you nor forsake you." Heb 13:5b ESV
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom 8:38-39
The fact that God promises that His love will never leave or forsake us should evoke a tremendous response of peace within our whole being, no matter what is going on in our life. If it doesn't, we need to stop reading and doing, and deeply meditate on these verses. God's word, the infallible seed, believed and taken to heart is guaranteed to bring a harvest of peace and healing power, never returning to God void. These promises from God and many more represent His absolute assurance of His everlasting love, protection, provision and our blessed future.
If we believe God's promise to us, we walk in His Spirit that overcomes the world. If we doubt, we walk in the flesh; we will remain overcome by the world's ways, filled with fear and worry, struggling as we try to do things in our strength.
If we believe in God's promises, nothing, absolutely nothing, can prevent the power and peace they contain from overcoming our troubles. All of the power held within His promises are readily available to us at this very moment. We just need to stop doubting and believe.
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you." Deut 31:6 ESV
Please, don't rush off and forget what you have just read. Take the time to meditate deeply on the absolute truth that God's love will never leave or forsake you. Captivate your mind and heart with these truths until His priceless peace and power are released into your circumstances right now. Then, as you walk in the Spirit, you will be more than a conqueror in this fallen world.
