Jesus Is Standing with You
“And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)
When you serve Christ, you are never alone; Jesus is standing with you. Isn’t that comforting? Isn’t that a great reason and reminder why we should be totally devoted to Christ? I believe so! I know it is easier said than done, especially when we are going through a tough and lonely season.
Maybe you are walking through dark times right now, and you feel very much alone. You could be alone because of your decisions, or maybe because of decisions someone else has made. You might be alone because you are passing through a very dark time physically, financially, or relationally.
You are not alone, because Jesus is standing with you. Make sure you stand with Him and be totally devoted to Him. Follow His agenda, not your will, but His will. You will never sense the presence of God standing with you, if you are living with your plan and what you want. This is especially true when it contradicts the Word of God.
Many believers want to claim God’s presence; however, they don't feel His presence because they are living out of fellowship with God. Real worship happens when you give everything to Him. This means being aligned with the Word of God. You must be obedient with all your life, all your time, and all your resources. Don’t hold anything back from Jesus.
Is that true for you? Are you aligned with that kind of obedience? If not, I encourage you not to “play church.” Don’t think you can sing the songs without backing them up with your life. Don’t pretend to be a “good Christian” on the outside, when everything is wrong on the inside. Our lives must honor the Lamb! Our goal should be to surrender our hearts to Jesus. May you live in that complete surrender today!

Thank you for your daily devotions
n They are one of two Christian highlights of my day. It's getting harder and harder to find a good Christian ministry that teaches God's truth. Thank you again. Yours in Christ

Matthew 16: Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their lifewill lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it
I used to play church until a fellow Christian knew I was and helped me realize it. Then I gave my heart and my life to Jesus. I have been on a whirlwind ride ever since. I am always learning more from the Bible and involved with ministry. Jesus loves me and I love Him
Follow the instructions and do it His way get the results God promises. John 14:27 NKJV - "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Follow your own set of standards and rules and do it your way and keep getting the same unsatisfying results. Make more, be more, drink more, sleep more, eat more, more things to covet for short term temporary happiness, repeat. Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
