THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY IS WITH THOSE WHO FOLLOW HIM… REMAINING IN HIM
In everything he (David) did he had great success, because the Lord was with him. —Psalm 18:14
Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free… So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” —John 8:31-32, 36
“Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” —John 8:47
Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. —Psalm 112:1
Do you hear what the Lord says? Do you find great delight in what He says? Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free… So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Are you experiencing the freedom that He gives? Are you experiencing “great success, because the Lord was with” you?
His Word says…
- I will be with you until the end of the age. — Matthew 28:20
- Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. —Hebrews 13:15
- Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. —John 14:12
We know that “we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10). We also know that to do what He desires we need to remain in Him because “apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5), Jesus said. But “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples” (John 15:7-8). So, if you know Jesus then He is with you and whatever work He has for you, you can trust that He will accomplish it though you as you follow Him and remain in Him. Thank You, Dear Father, for the promises of Your Word. Now may I be faithful to what You have called me to by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus. Yes, so may it be! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLDEt9KP2O0&list=RDBLDEt9KP2O0&start_radio=1
