I’ve written before about how to jog our memory about God’s goodness in those moments when we forget…
But it seems to be an on-going struggle for so many of us.
There are times where I hear about a situation, or when I’m dealing with something of my own, and I ask, “Is God here?”
If you can’t think back to an experience of your own — of a personal encounter of your own — that you’ve had with Jesus Christ, when you remember He showed up, when you remember His presence and action and mercy and love, then the next place to turn — quite literally — is towards the Bible. And towards the stories that answer that very question with a loud & overpowering yes.
Yes, He is here.
Where to turn (recommendations from my friends!):
Psalm 46:10
“He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.’”
James 4:8
“Come near to God and he will come near to you.”
John 15:5
“’I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.’”
Deuteronomy 31:6
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Psalm 8
“What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man that thou visitest him?”
Psalm 139
“You examine me and know me, you know when I sit, when I rise, you understand my thoughts from afar. You watch when I walk or lie down, you know every detail of my conduct. A word is not yet on my tongue before you, Yahweh, know all about it.”
Matthew 28:20b
“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Isaiah 41:10
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Jeremiah 29
“Yes, I know what plans I have in mind for you, Yahweh declares, plans for peace, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. When you call to me and come and pray to me, I shall listen to you.”
Which passages would you add to the list?
