I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that set themselves against me around about. Arise , O Lord; save me. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me. Psalm 3 verses 6, 7a, and 5.
People have plans.
They have hidden agendas.
A smiling face may cover a darkened scowl that lies beneath.
No one knows the heart like God.
No one hears the malice laced in sweet words but God.
As terror mounts while the devices of those who hate you multiple, there is a steady confidence that God will protect you.
God will sustain you.
Rest assured God will defend you.
You must call on your faith with unwavering assurance that God has your back.
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. Deuteronomy 31 verse 6
He gives courage to the faint of heart and strength to the weak.
Life goes on with every beating of the heart. The world does not stop spinning because someone is in peril or Someone is in need. We are all finite beings subjected to the machinations of life. We cry. We smile. Our emotions are here and sometimes there, But out of the 86,400 seconds of every day, and in everything, God promises never to leave us or forsake us.
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour that the midwife said to her, fear not… Genesis 35:17
Lo, I am with you all way, even to the end of the world.

“Loneliness is an unpleasant emotional response to perceived isolation.”
As a child of God, we must remember that God promised never to leave or forsake us. Sometimes when circumstances are overwhelming, we forget to remember the Bible is God’s word to us, every chapter, every verse, and every line. Scripture is given to us for rebuke, correction, and instruction. A passage from the Old Testament may speak about a character from the past but, it can also be relatable to us today. God’s word is fresh and applicable in the past, in the present, and forever. God promised to Jacob, “Behold, I am with you, and will keep you in all places wherever you go and will bring you again into the land; for I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken to you of.” Again in Deuteronomy, chapter 31 verse 6 Moses spoke to the children of Israel to encourage them with the truth. He said, “He (God) it is that goes with you, He will not fail you, nor forsake you.” This promise passes throughout the Old Testament and well into the New Testament. Jesus the only begotten son of God says, “Lo, I am with you all way, even to the end of the world.” As He was with the children of Israel, we are His children, and He will help us also. He is God and changes not.
