God is with me

I'm aware that during the most difficult times of my life, there is only one set of footprints I need to follow. Yes, during my journey through this life, I will encounter my ruts and potholes, shadows and deep darkness, joys and sorrows, faith and fears. But in all of these situations, I need to be reminded that my God is with me. I need to believe and trust in his power to help me walk in his footprints.

Psalm 56:3-4
3. Whenever I am afraid,I will trust in You.  4. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

I was there when he took my sins and made them his own.

Isa 53:4-6
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

I was there when they mocked him.

Lk 23:36-38
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

I was there when Mary witnessed the sad death of her son, the savior of the world.

John 19:25-27
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

I was there when he said, "It is finished". My sins were paid for with his blood.

John 19:28-30
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
