God is With Us.

God is the one sure thing in this life of ours.

October 17, 2026

“So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God.” (Isaiah 41:10a NIV)

My prayer for you today is that you know that God is with you.  That He is there always and forever.  The problem is that sometimes in life we do not feel He is with us.  We feel all alone, lost and confused.  We forget that God is truth and an anchor of faith rather than a passing emotional state or a fluctuating mood.  He is undeniable, unbelievable, unfathomable, He is and was and will always be.  He is at the heart of our faith and human existence.  Where feelings come and go—God does not.  Where life has ups and downs—God is consistent.  Where pain and heartache occur—God sustains us.  When loneliness consumes us—God gives us hope.  When grief overwhelms us—God gives us strength.  God is our all in all—a very presence in this life.  So today, no matter what your feelings dictate remember God is there—even if you do not feel it. For God is our all in all.  These things we pray.  Amen.  God Bless.
