Psalm 136:1 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Give Thanks To The Lord, For He Is Good, For His Steadfast Love Endures Forever."....
PJP2 THANKS TEXT 160217a Isaiah 43:2 (NIV/emphasis added/jaj)...."When you pass through the waters, I Will Be With you; And when you pass through the rivers, they Will NOT sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you Will NOT be burned; the flames Will NOT set you ablaze."....
I am so Very Thankful for our Lord Jesus, His Holy Spirit and God The Father's Faithful and Trustworthy Promise to us That He IS with us. Look at the tense - "I Will Be With you" - it is not past tense, nor future, BUT (Behold the Underlying Truth) our Lord is Promising His Presence in the Present Tense, the Now.
That's so Encouraging to Know, regardless of our circumstances - be that having to 'pass through' the raging waters of our scenarios; or, crossing over the 'rivers' of challenges we face each day; or, facing the 'fire' that the evil one throws up in front of us to try and detour us away from our Lord and Savior - "I Will Be With you" Rings out loud and clear.
Thus my Prayer of Thanks today - O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit and Father God, Thank You for Your Eternal Presence in our Lives. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your Promise to Always Be With us. Holy Spirit, Empower us with Your Truth and Wisdom to Share Your Love and Light to All. Father God, when our going gets tough, Remind us that You Are Right Beside us, every step of the challenging way. In Your Precious Name we Pray....Amen/Amen....jaj
