He Is With You

And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech and Phichol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.  Genesis 21:22

Now those are words of encouragement! It is a thing we forget at the worst of times, and fail to remember at the best of times. That God is with you and me should be a foundational thought in every moment, but is it always so with us? For those who refuse to believe, it is one of the most frightening of thoughts to occur to them. For those of us who believe in God, we sometimes try to go at the problem alone through our pride. Even in a moment of fear, when it seems that the thought of God with us would be foremost in mind, we tend to tremble in our misery for too long. It is past time for us to remember the name, Immanuel! We say it as 'God with us' but recall it personally too - God with me!

Rejoice always in Immanuel!
