For those of you who don't know me well, I must start out by saying that I am a gymnast. I'm on the team at Cal State Fullerton and this weekend we have conference championships.
Tonight we were practicing downstairs in the gym we will be competing in and were trying to get used to the fact that we will be standing in corrals (yes like the ones they put horses in) during this meet. There are usually only 2-3 teams competing at once but at this particular meet there are going to be 6. So in order to keep the chaos to a minimum, those of us not competing at the time are to be in a designated area cheering on the lone competitor out there.
When discussing this tonight, my coach said that it'll be a different feeling without the team so close and that "you'll be all alone out there."
My friend Shelly rebutted that you are never alone....
Thus the idea for my posting:
No matter what you are going through, God is always with you. He is there for you through thick and thin, good and bad. You are Not Alone.
Hebrews 13:5b - because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
I love being able to rely on this. The world is ever changing, turning around, upside down, inside out. Yet, God remains the one constant. No matter what else happens, He will always be there keeping His promises.
Psalm 55:22a- "Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you."
God is with you. You are Not Alone.
This is not meant to be creepy. No eye in the sky, big brother status concept. But rather this should be reassuring. You do not have to go through life alone. Face the hard times, the mountains, the giants with God on your side. He is larger than all of these troubles. He can overcome all obstacles placed before you.
Romans 8:31b- "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
Psalm 118:6- "The Lord is with me I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
Be encouraged in the word. Stay strong in the Lord and lean on Him for You are Not Alone.
