January 15

“So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].” Isaiah 26:4(AMPC)

A solid rock is a pretty secure surface to stand on.  However, the Lord God of all creation, Who is everlasting and immoveable, is even better!

We may enjoy and appreciate the gift of many wonderful people in our lives bringing companionship, comfort, and care. And it’s good, sometimes very good; but as marvellous as it is, it is not as good as God!

For He alone knows everything about you, including those things you may not be fully aware of yourself, or the things you wish nobody knew.  He has seen the movie of your life and has not walked out midway through, for He is completely devoted, and madly in love with you!  He knows the you that was, the you that is just exactly as you are, and the you that is yet to be!

He cares for you unselfishly, with complete focus on what is His highest and best.  He knows all that is in your heart, sensitive and mindful of the painful things that break it, and in all circumstances, your Guardian God, is right there with you, watching over, protecting, loving, and caring for you.

A constant companion, His steadfastness never wavers. His devotion never ends.  Oh beloved, it’s true. Lean in to this love and trust.  It can be hard at times to do, especially when life has had a hand in breaking you, but even that He knows.  The Precious Holy Spirit, as your Comforter, Counsellor, and Friend, is there to help you, every step of the way.

God will never leave you or forsake you.  Never hurt you; never break you. He has set His affection upon you, and those affections are rock solid, unshakeable, and forever true. The One Enthroned in heaven is 100% committed to you!

Prayer:

Precious Holy Spirit, these truths are too wonderful for us to comprehend but we know that You would never lie and so we place our trust in You. 

In all the places the world has broken us; choices we have made;  and those made by others too, we welcome You in to make it all brand new.

We can’t make it without You Holy Spirit, and we are so very grateful that we never have to.

In Jesus Precious Name, and with grateful hearts, we pray.
