(Continued)
There was another incident where the younger one was asleep on the couch and as he was tossing and turning, he eventually woke up and then looked around and then started crying until he saw and recognised me, and then stopped crying and went straight back to sleep.
What stood out is that he possibly cried because he didn't recognise where he was. He was possibly in an unfamiliar place and felt scared, lonely, afraid and started crying as a result of it but when he recognised me it all stopped and he went to sleep (meaning he must've felt at ease/peace again knowing I was there)
Nothing changed in the natural.
His surroundings/circumstances didn't change.
He wasn't even moved to a more desirous place.
Yet peace came when he recognised he wasn't alone. Peace came when he recognised who was still with him.
In the same manner, we may find ourselves faced with circumstances that's making us feel unsettled, uneasy, restless, making us feel scared and lonely. My friend, in these moments we need to know that GOD IS WITH US!
He said He will never leave us nor forsake us!
He is a good God!
He is a loving Father!
... and if He be for us, who or what can be against us!
Psalm 23 (AMP)
The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me],
I shall not want. He lets me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.
He refreshes and restores my soul (life);
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the [sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with oil; My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord.
When nothing may have changed in the natural and your circumstances may be unfavourable - you can ALWAYS trust in the One who is ALWAYS with you!
