Because He Lives We Are Never Alone

Because He Lives We Are Never Alone

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Matthew 28:20

Devotion for Today

One of the last things Jesus said before ascending into heaven was to remind the disciples that He would always be with them. But that’s not the only time God has promised to be with us always.

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.”

Deuteronomy 31:6, “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Psalm 139:7-10, “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.”

Psalm 145:18, “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.”

Zephaniah 3:17, “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save…”

1 Corinthians 3:16, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?”

Psalm 23:4, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

I could keep going, but the bottom line is that we are never alone. Not only has God promised never to leave us, He promised the Holy Spirit to come live in us.

Before Jesus died on the cross, He promised to send the Holy Spirit, and we can know He is with us because Jesus didn’t just die, He rose.

Our redeemer lives.
