Assured of God's Help

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:10

Have you ever looked at someone special who has come across your path and wish you shared some kind of fellowship with that person or that you belonged to that particular individual?

The Lord Almighty says to you "... I have called you by your name; you are Mine" (Isaiah 43:1). You are called out, specially chosen, separated from all other people so that you will be the Lord's. And because of that you share a special relationship with your father in Heaven. You are no more an orphan, an outcast person without a name, identity or background. You do not have to look at others with deep longing in your heart and wish that you belonged. You have a belonging, with the Lord God. Your security is in Him.

Loneliness will not plague you neither will you feel that you are an object of scorn if you will fully realize the special relationship that you have been brought into by the blood of Jesus Christ. If the Lord is in all your thoughts and your eyes and mind are set upon Him you will never find that there are hours of boredom in your life. If you seek to separate yourself from every kind of activity to make a special time with the Lord God to build up that special relationship that you have with Him, and to enjoy His presence, you will find that there is never enough time.

In this world where everyone is chasing a great man or woman for an identify or relationship which will not last, the Lord calls out to you that you are His own. "And ye shall be holy unto me for I the Lord am holy and have severed you from other people that ye should be mine" (Leviticus 20:26).

You belong to the Lord, so separated yourself from everyone and everything that will contaminate your life. Will you turn and walk away from all the relationships and attachments of the past that has been destroying you? Will you surrender to the Lord memories that have been holding you in bondage?

Take hold of yourself and go to the feet of the Lord. The Lord God Almighty, the most high God is in the possessor of heaven and earth (Genesis 14:19). Will you give yourself over to Him to be His possession? Know that you have a place in the heart of the Almighty God. It is a place of refuge, a place of shelter, a place which no one can take away and a love which is special which no one break away.

There is your place of belonging which will last all eternity. There is your place of belonging which will last all eternity. There is your place of confidence and rest. Let your heart rest in the blessed love and sweet fellowship that will be yours when you abandon yourself wholly and cast yourself totally into the hands of the Lord.

There is no better resting place than at the feet of the Lord.

- Daniel O.C
