The Word That Suits: Going On With God's Presence

I bless God for another opportunity to share a word with the people of God who take time to read my post. It's been a while since I shared something on my blog and I sincerely apologize for the break. The demands of a new baby in my life is the pleasing reason why I had to take the break, but I pray to God that as we start a new month and go into the second half of this year, I will be able to take time out to share the truth of God's word again and again.
I join many of God's people to thank and bless the name of the living God for the gift of seeing a new month and in fact seeing the beginning of the second half of the year. For those who still have loads of prayer request yet to be answered, I trust the Lord that as we begin the second half of the year God will show up in the areas of your lives where you still need His divine touch and your expectations in Christ will not be cut short in Jesus name.
A little over a month ago I started a Bible reading plan that will take me into reading the whole Bible in 6months and though I have read the Bible through once before, I still find it very refreshing and revealing to read through the Bible again. You know we cannot have enough of the word of God.
I have learned so much in the 45days of my tour of the Bible and some of the things I learned again in my reading are worth sharing.

Genesis 28:13-15
There above it stood the Lord, and he said: "I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you until I have done what I have promised you."

Genesis 39:2, 20-21
The Lord was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master.

Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined.
But while Joseph was there in prison, the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favour in the eyes of the prison warder.

I want to speak to the hearts of those of us who in truth carry the presence of God in us. By the special grace of God I want to us to understand and know that the unpleasant situation or rather the expectant state that you are in has not in any way erased the truth of the fact that God is with you and He is watching over you.
In Genesis 28, Jacob was on his way to his uncle's place in Haran. He was not going there to live as a son but to serve his uncle as servant yet God was with him. As he served Laban his uncle and master, he carried in him the presence of God.
The presence of God was with Joseph as he served under his Egyptian master, all through his ordeal as he journeyed to prison, he carried the presence of God with him. So I learned that my present challenge or trial as it may be has not eroded the truth that God is with me and he is watching me. And that is what I want the person reading this piece to hold very dear to his/her heart.
True you are living right and living in the fear of God and you wonder why you are going through such tough terrain in life's journey. But in the middle of all the struggle the presence of God is with you and the Lord is watching to ensure that you are not tempted beyond your ability.
But the most beautiful truth of all is that none of those who carried the presence of God in them had a bad ending. The road might be rough, but the end of the journey made the process worth the while.
Jacob left the service of Laban a wealthy and fulfilled man. His company was large and his possession was much. Likewise Joseph ended his life as the prime minister of Egypt, he was boss over all, even over those who throw him into the situation.
So as you start into the second half of the year, look beyond those things you are still hopeful in God for, look beyond the financial mess, beyond the sickness, beyond the marital troubles and whatever it is that might be troubling your mind and seek to enter into the second half of this year with the presence of God going with you. Hold on to God till you hear Him say to you "I am with you and will watch over you" and you are rest secure that the remaining part of this year is going to be well with you.
