January 20, 2012 With Him

Read Job 35-36 With Him Job 36:4 For truly my words are not false; One who is perfect in knowledge is with you. ELIHU speaks to Job, his friend who is in distress, with an assuring truth. God’s perfect knowledge is available to Job. God is with him. Is it not a wonderful feeling to know the love of someone you love is always with you? My wife and I went through a time in our lives when we often traveled in our different jobs. Sometimes one would come home and the other would leave. We were barely with each other during certain weeks, but our love relationship kept us with one another wherever we were. We could be with each other when we were apart because we committed to each other when we were together. We expressed our love to one another as we parented, worked around the house, went to church and attended the kids’ events. Being with each other meant we worked through the relationship challenges. Staying in the challenges, we grew to be more with each other as our love and trust for each other grew. Do you feel as if you’re home and God is traveling on business somewhere else? Do you step into church or a Bible study or sit down to read your Bible, and wonder, “God, why aren’t you with me today?” What does it take to feel God’s presence to trust He is with you? The thing is, you need to commit your love to Him. The Lord of Heaven and earth wants to be the love of your life. He loves you. Love Him back. Learn about Him. Learn from Him. Stay with Him, and you will turn to clearly see He is with you in all things. It’s True! God is with you.
