“I’ve Got Your Back!”
GREETINGS FROM THE TEMPLE …
“I’ve Got Your Back!”
“I’ve got your back!” “I got you!” How many times have you heard someone say these words? How many times did the person who said these words come through for you? Depending on the person uttering these words, these words can mean a lot, or they can mean absolutely nothing. As we go through life, we eventually come to know who we can depend on and who we can’t.
i.e., As a child, I was small for my age and would get picked on by the bigger kids at school. That was, until they saw that I was from a large family and if they got in a fight with me (any one of us), they had to fight all of us. Yes, I was protected! My brothers and sisters had my back!
While here on this earth, we will always go through some things. But I know a Name – I know a Name you can call on at any time, morning, noon time, mid-night hour. There is Power in His Name – there is Comfort, in His Name – there is Healing, in His Name – there’s Protection in His Name – there is Love – Joy – Peace in His Name! God! Our Father, Who art in Heaven! God has made promises that He will keep. Call to Him! He will answer you! He will direct your path through your life’s journey.
Live not – struggle not! There will be struggles, problems, throughout our lives. God never promised us a problem-free or struggle-fee life. He did promise to “Never leave nor forsake us.” He has kept His promise.
In our women’s Zoom class, we are reading the book: “Don’t Give the Enemy A Seat At Your Table” by Louie Giglio. The concept of this book is on Psalm 23. First Lady Tara Brice was leading the discussion:
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” – Psalm 23:4 (KJV).
As we are going through something, we forget all about this Bible passage. This is God’s promise to us that He will be there with us. Therefore, when we pray, we should pray, not asking for God’s help, but pray thanking God for being there with us during our storm. Wow! What a revelation! Knowing (remembering) that God is with you during your struggles makes your struggle less of a struggle doesn’t it? You can rejoice, knowing that God has your back!
The One and only True God has your back! Just call to Him – cry out to Him! He is waiting on you. Seek Him first! Before you call your seemingly reliable mother, father, sister, brother, call God! Call our Faithful – Reliable – Dependable – Committed God! He keeps all His Promises!
“Call to me and I will answer you.” – Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV).
