"God Is For Me"
"You number my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle." Psalm 56:8 NKJV
God knows you. He engraved your name on his hands and keeps your tears in a bottle (Isa. 49:16; Ps. 56:8)…
God knows you.
And he is near you!
How far is the shepherd from the sheep (John 10:14)?
The branch from the vine (John 15:5)?
That's how far God is from you.
He is near.
See how these four words look taped to your bathroom mirror: "God is for me" (Ps. 56:9 NKJV).
And his kingdom needs you. The poor need you; the lonely need you; the church needs you…the cause of God needs you. You are part of "the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone" (Eph. 1:11 MSG). The kingdom needs you to discover and deploy your unique skill. Use it to make much out of God. Get the word out. God is with us; we are not alone.
