FOR THOU ART WITH ME! - Retract Series 002
Read Psalms 23
Psalms 23:4, KJV
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me..."
Brethren, aaaah! You know the Bible says, "...I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me..." You now know why David is not afraid. It's because of God who's with him. David is not ignorant of God and to what extent He can conquer. David knows that He's the Governor-General of all the earth. He knows that the earth is His and even they who dwells there. If that be, then He has the greatest power. It's for this reason David was never troubled even at moments of fear. It's because of He that's with him. What a blessing not to be alone! What a blessing to always have the terrible One by one's side! What a blessing to carry God along; for God to be right by one! What a blessing!
Today's devotional is titled, "For Thou Art With Me." Let me ask, "for who is with you?" You'd say, "for God is with me." That settles it. If whenever you go out, God is with you, then you're a settled man. If because of God's presence only which stood as a terrible One by David he didn't fear when he got to quarters of fear, then it stands to reason that you can't be shaken even in turbulence if God is with you. Or did you not read David's testimony? He said, "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil." Then he attributed why he won't fear to God being with him when he says, "for Thou art with me." Kai! What a thing! What an investment that God is instituted by your side and keeps you everytime! What will kill you? Who can seize you? Ooh, I have not seen even one!
Yesterday, we read that the Lord will preserve our going out and coming in from this time forth and for ever more (Psalms 121:8). "To preserve" means to "watch over or keep safe". That immediately gives away two facts: that God goes with us as we go and that God never sleeps nor slumber watching over us. First, in order to preserve us, He's very close to us. He's closer than an escort and even goes with us all around. He has sent a dispatch of angels and fiery security personnel to see to us and our smart needs. That's why they answer with immediacy "to bear us up on their hands so that we might not dash our foot against a stone (Psalms 91:12)". One reason why you don't have problem going and coming in is because you travel in company of guards - angels. This company is given you for your preservation. They're the first move of God towards your preservation. Since you're too precious, God can't allow a hair of your head to fall down. So, He makes preparation that ensures you not only go out but with an invisible convoy or attendants that sees to your welfare, safety and coming in. These attendants are so sensitive that if you should give a cry of fear, you'll immediately see the salvation of the Lord. Your question would just be, "how did I escape that?" How did I get here?
David knew presence is a reality. That's why he says, "for Thou art with me." Because God was with him, he enjoyed not being moved. He enjoyed stability. Because God's with you, by your side, walking with you when you step out, that's why you've been going out and coming in successfully. The mystery of God's preservation system is that, "I'm with you even when you pass through the waters. It won't overflow you (Isa.43:2)." And it is this that assures us that when we go, we'll also and always retract. Say with me, "for Thou art with me. When I go, I shall always come back." Please, take that to hold your body. Take that and sleep on it. Let it become assurance assuring you. That one can't be broken. We've searched it out before serving it as meal. Bless you in all your ways this week.
PRAYER: For Thou art with me, I fear no evil in the day and in the night; in my going out and coming in. When I go, I shall come back.
