God won’t turn away from you

Good morning, everyone,

Our theme for this month: “You are not alone”

Our Bible verse for today: “May God be praised! He has not turned away my prayer or turned His faithful love from me.” Psalm 66:20 (CSB)

Our thought for today: “God won’t turn away from you”

Have you experienced any answers to prayers lately – big answers, little answers – maybe in your life or in the lives of others? One person I know has just come through one of the darkest times of her life. For more than a year and a half she endured betrayal from a loved one, a career change, great financial hardships, and much more. Throughout it all she kept looking to God and sure enough, He answered prayers, provided resources, created new opportunities, and ultimately brought her through it.

There are many other examples of sickness that was healed, surgeries which were survived, unemployment which led to a new and better job, and much more. I have had periods in my own life that were very challenging but, along with the Psalmist I have been able to proclaim, “May God be praised! He has not turned away from my prayer or turned His faithful love from me.”

God has promised that He will never forsake us and He will never abandon us – and experience proves the promise to be true. If you’re going through a tough season of life right now, I encourage you to spend a little time contemplating God’s past faithfulness to you. Remember the prayers that were answered, the provisions that were received just in the nick of time, the deliverance and peace that always seemed to come when they were needed. Then realize that you can trust Him in your present situation and for the future as well.

God is good – all the time; and all the time, God is good! I promise you, the time will come – probably very soon – when you too will be able to say, “Praise God! He did not turn away from me; His faithful love was there for me.”

God bless,
Pastor Jim
