One of the most important and helpful truths Jesus
tells His followers is: “Be sure of this: I am with you always…” Matt. 28:20.
When we are acting in obedience to God we are not
doing so because we have initiated some clever scheme based on our own thinking
and ideas. When we act in obedience to God we are doing what He has initiated; on
the authority of Jesus; with His help, strength and leading. And when we do
this, He is present with us.
This is incredibly important to me because I am weak,
easily frightened and prone to seeking the approval of others. So I cannot do
what God calls me to do. I am incapable of following Him… [here is the
important part]… without His presence.
“With man this is impossible, but not with God; all
things are possible with God.” [Jesus] Mark 10:27
