Verse for Today

Ezekiel 48:35 - And the name of the city from that time on will be Jehovah Shammah (The Lord Is There).

A child of God finds that wherever he or she goes, the Lord is there for them and with them. When the presence of God is in a place or with a person, His power, peace, protection, provisions and preeminence can also be experienced. If such a Jehovah is with us and goes with us wherever we go, we need to find out whether we are making use of the power of the presence of God in our lives. If His power is with us and we can draw from it according to His measure, then we need to have the deep desire to draw from His well which never runs dry. If we draw sufficiently from it, we will be able to live in His power all the days of our lives. If He is with us, His peace that passes all understanding will be with us to deal with all circumstances and situations. But we need to draw upon His peace by filling our hearts with His promises to deal with every circumstance without anxiety about consequences. If He is our protection, we can dwell under His wings and shadow like an eagle protects its young ones. We can then live without fear and fretting, and praise the Lord for the fearlessness that He alone can give us to deal with all our situations and circumstances. If He is our provision, we do not lack any good thing because He gives it to us according to His measure at the right time and place to meet every need. If He is preeminent in our lives, we will be able to give Him the first and supreme place in all that we do, think and decide. Such is our Lord Jesus who is with us all the time at all places. If we live with such knowledge and translate this knowledge into practical living by faith, we would be able to enjoy the Lord and His presence. There is no situation that He cannot handle. There is no problem that He cannot solve. There is no battle that He cannot fight for us. There is no shortage that He cannot fill. There is no tear that He cannot wipe. There is no question that He cannot answer. When we have such a Lord with us, and if He is our 'Jehovah-Shammah', we would do well to live according to the status of His presence in our lives.

Dear friend, are you able to sense the presence of the Lord in all walks of your life each day? Do you feel that He goes with you and comes back with you in all the scenarios that you are a part of? Are you able to handle your situations because He is with you to help you? Even when He seems far away, He is truly near you and by your side. Even when you think that He is not hearing, He is listening to your cries and putting His mighty arms around you to reassure you. He is encompassing you with His mighty presence and that means His power is all over you. He has His fire will around you so that the no enemy will touch you. The enemy will come around you to distract you from confiding in the Lord. The enemy will try to send messages of lies and confusion your way. But at such times, hold on to the Lord by faith and keep talking to the Lord. You are given the authority to use the name of your Lord to rebuke the enemy and the negative thoughts that are brought to you by the enemy. You have every right and opportunity to claim the power and protection of the Lord by faith in the promises of the Lord. His provision of peace is available to you at all circumstances. He is preeminent in you and you are challenged to make Him preeminent in all that you do, think, plan and act. Jehovah Shammah is a fact and a reality in your life today for the glory of God. Jehovah Shammah is available to you to fill your heart and life every moment of your life. Jehovah Shammah is your very life if you care to make Him a reality in your life. This awesome thought ought to make us live in peace and contentment, and live a victorious life each moment of our lives which is the greatest challenge in the life of faith for which are called, separated and sustained. So dear friend, take courage and live like a king and a prince because you are the child of the King of kings. Jehovah-Shammah!

Psalms 23:4 - Even though I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Thought for Today
The Holy Presence of the Holy God is around His children now and forever more.
