‘God’s Presence Can Sustain You’

No matter what is going on in your world, God is with you.

In his book Hope in the Dark: Believing God Is Good When Life Is Not, Craig Groeschel writes, ‘In your most desperate moments, God’s presence can sustain you. Just as resistance in the gym makes your muscles grow stronger, resistance in life strengthens your faith in God. Over time, as you grow in the grace of God, what normally would have rocked your world becomes something you can take in stride, knowing God is with you and will carry you when you are weak.’

When God is for you, you can handle anything. You can face your life. You can face your fears.

When the road ahead is dark, foggy, God is with you. When you do not know what to do, when you are confused, God will answer you.

‘… God is with you and will carry you when you are weak.’

When things are not working for you, God is working for you.

Yes, it is hard to believe in God when things are hard. But if you can ‘take your next step by faith’, if you can follow God, He will never let you down.

‘… if God makes you a promise, it will happen.’

What are you doing to receive it? According to Craig Groeschel, When God says something to you, record it, because your spiritual enemy is an expert at stealing the seeds of truth that God wants to plant.’

‘… your spiritual enemy is an expert at stealing the seeds of truth that God wants to plant.’

‘How Do You Listen To God?’

If you want to hear from God, you must listen to Him.

If you do not know how to listen to God, you are not going to hear from Him.

Listen to God. Whatever you are going through in your life, do not go through it alone.

God is everywhere. God is with you. The question is, ‘How do you listen to God?’

According to Craig Groeschel, ‘God speaks through people, offering divine wisdom from heaven. And he can speaks directly to you through His Spirit. When you belong to Him, spend time with Him, and quiet yourself before Him, you will learn to recognize his voice.’

‘When you belong to God, when you spend time with God, you will hear from God.’

Are you listening to God? Look, if you do not listen to God, you are not going to hear from Him.

When you listen to God, when you are willing to learn from God, when you are willing to be yourself, God will never abandon you.

When hard things happen, we often see more clearly what means the most to us.’

If we really want to hear from God, ‘spending time alone with God should be at the top of our list, even if the conversation with him will be a difficult one.’
