He's Always There

The distance around the city shall be 18,000 [4 x 4,500] measures; and the name of the city from that day and ever after shall be, The Lord is There.
Ezekiel 48:35 The Amplified Bible

All of my Christian walk, I have heard how God is "always there" for us, even when it doesn't feel like He is. In fact, sometimes it feels as though I've been abandoned, but I know that's not the Truth, and here's how I know that for certain.

The Names of God reveal His character. His character is who He is - He said Himself, He does not change. God was so intent on revealing this consuming part of His character to His people, that throughout the old and new testaments, how many instances can you think of off the top of your head where Scripture talks about His presence in the tabernacle and/or in the temple? He wanted it to be very clear that He is 'always there' for us.

Jehovah-Shammah "The Lord is There." His Word fulfilled. Our bodies are temples of the living God; Christ lives inside of us. So what we have is His presence there in His temple. Always...

Prayer:

Father,
          Thank You for always being there with us and for us even when we can't see you. Help us to remember You are always there and walk and live accordingly. Lord, may we always be aware of Your precious presence in our lives. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
