He will never leave you

"The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them."

                                                                   Psalm 34:7.  NKJV

Jesus is true to His Word, He will never leave you. In John 10:28, we read: 'And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.' 

Those who fear God are protected and assured that He will deliver them from dangers seen and unseen. No sheep of His will ever perish. Bob Gass once said 'When God doesn't deliver you immediately, He'll be your thermostat in the furnace'.

Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego could certainly confirm this. Nebuchadnezzar had erected a very tall gold image in his courts and had ordered that everyone would bow down to worship this figure. However, these guys refused and were warned that they would be  thrown into a fiery furnace ( Daniel 3). Now this would have been certain death.

However, these three men of God said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.  17If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. 18But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” Daniel 3 :16-18.

When these guys were in the furnace, Nebuchadnezzar looked into the flames and was totally perplexed 'Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselers, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” 25“Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”    Daniel 3:25. What a witness to the king.

God is true to His Word, He will never let us down and what He says, is the truth - always. This is something that we need to grasp hold of. He may not answer immediately or resolve the matter as we feel He should, but He will always act on your behalf, so be patient. I felt God give me the statement below, and wrote it in my bible, why don't you:

(1) Our God is able (2) And He will (3) But if not, I'll still trust Him.  

In closing, allow me to share something that CS Lewis wrote in his book The Screwtape Letters. 'Satan warns one of his junior demons, "We are never in greater danger than when they look around and all traces of God have forsaken them, yet, they still choose to obey Him.'

This is the way God wants us to be, always believing, always trusting and never giving up no matter what we come up against.

(1) Our God is able (2) And He will (3) But if not, I'll still trust Him. 

 If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now

Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. In Jesus' Name. Amen
