I AM SAYS "I AM FOR YOU."

"God is for me."  Psalm 56: 9b

It is difficult for we who journey together on this earth to fully grasp the full meaning of this  delightful phrase,

"God is for me:"

But let's try to grasp it anyway:

• He was "for us" before the worlds were made.
• He was "for us," or He would not have given His well-beloved Son.
• He was "for us" when He sacrificed His Only-begotten, and laid the full weight of His wrath upon Him—He was "for us," though for a while He forsook Him;
• He was "for us," when we were ruined by the rebellion and fall of our ancient ancestors, Adam and Eve —He loved us, nevertheless.
• He was "for us," when we were rebels against Him, turned away from Him and did not believe.  He drew us to Himself by the power of the Holy Spirit.
• He was for us when He gave us the glorious opportunity to "not perish but have eternal life," if we would only believe in His Son.
• He was "for us," or He would not have brought us humbly to seek His face.
• He has been "for us" in many struggles we have encountered (or will encounter.)  Yes in, all kinds  of challenges, we have been tempted inside and out —how could we have gained the strength to carry on, to this hour, if He had not been "for us"? 
• He is "for us," with all the infinity of His being; with all the omnipotence of His love; with all the infallibility of His wisdom; arrayed in all His divine attributes,
• He is "for us,"—eternally and absolutely "for us".   And because He is "for us," a  short, secret, simple, sincere, specific prayer, uttered by us in a whisper, will always be heard from His Throne on High. "When I cry unto YOU, then shall my enemies be turned back." (This is especially true of the enemy of our souls.) 

I am not talking about an uncertain hope, but a well grounded experiential assurance—"this I know." I will direct my prayer unto THE ALMIGHTY ONE who is for me. I will look to Heaven (where ever Heaven may be)  for the answer(s). I have faith that it will come and it indeed does come: When my enemies (or my "demons"  of Spiritual warfare,  mental battles, physical battles, addictions, temptations, trials  and sins come against me) they are defeated... one day at a time... one step at a time...in one moment of a time... one challenge at a time, as I surrender to my Creator who makes me a new creation and sustains me. Out of my most weak moments He grace provides me with strength and His grace is sufficient for me, even when I fall.   "For God is for me," each new day as we journey together and as I surrender to HIM.

 O Christ Follower, "Put on the full armor of  God" today and each day. "Deny yourself.  Take up the Cross" and follow Jesus today and each new day.  "Present your body as a living sacrifice" (by faith) to Him today and each new day.  Commit your life, with all its challenges, each new day, to the ONE who is for you!  Then you will experience the grace and power of  the King of kings and Lord of lords, who is I AM!

Think about how much better off you are with The God who is for you leading, guiding and directing your daily journey.  Yes... just slow down and take time to think about what I am saying. Think about how sure your cause is when it is pleaded by such an Advocate, like Jesus.  Think about what it is like when you walk with the LORD in the light of His WORD.  Think about what this means  "If God be for y-o-u, who can be against you?" One thing is for certain, and you can absolutely count on it being true...

Y-O-U   ARE   NOT   ALONE!

Now Be Blessed 2-day... Especially 2-day ... And each new day...
