Thank you Jalein. I believe that by consciously being aware of God’s presence with us, we become less focused and less aware of sin consciousness! What a glorious thing to know, that God is with us! Emmanuel
Im with you, the Lord is with you, a forever covenant and promise that we are not alone, as we purposefully acknowledge God in everything, every interaction, every intention, every action, even the little every day things, such as making a meal, paying the bills, receiving bad news, if we acknowledge His presence in all these things, YES He is always with us. Amen
“Shared purpose”
I always think about what my purpose is on this earth.
I see people immensely gifted and people working so hard for the kingdom of God. For sometime these things put me in a position where I was sad thinking why I still don’t know about my purpose…
But knowing this that God shares my purpose(this is the first time I got to know the cultural meaning of “being with”) is really very assuring. HE just doesn’t give us purpose, HE takes (shares) some of it too. Sooo Good ❣️

It’s so mindblowing how this promise holds forever true we’ve seen this in Joshua 1:9, Deuteronomy 31:8, isaiah 41:3 then here comes Jesus Immanuel (God with us) and now gives us the Holy Spirit to be with us – John 14:26, Matthew 28:20, Acts 1:8. Thanks for this reminder
