Remember That God Is for You

“If our confidence in God had to depend upon our confidence in any human person, we would be on shifting sand.”

—FRANCIS SCHAEFFER

God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on).

—1 Corinthians 1:9

Statistics prove that 10 percent of the people we encounter will not like us. There is nothing we can do about it, except worry, but even that won’t change their minds.

The truth is, God is for us and since He is so mighty and awesome, it really does not matter all that much who is against us (see Romans 8:31). Think about who is on your side, not who is against you. There are many people who do love and accept you and it is much more enjoyable to keep your mind on them. We should practice meditating on what we do have, not what we are missing. We do have God. He promises never to leave us or forsake us, so we are never without Him. He is more than enough.

When you hear someone does not like you or is unhappy with you, don’t let this information upset you. Stay focused on Jesus; He’s your best friend, anyway.

If you are facing a tremendous challenge right now, one you feel is too much for you, take a moment and say these words out loud: “God is for me, and since He is for me, I can do whatever I need to do in life.”

The Holy Spirit walks alongside us. He is the Standby, the Helper we can always rely on in life. You are never alone!
