The Jesus We Need to Know: He Will Be Close Beside Us

I think almost everyone sometimes feels alone. I know I have.

 

But Jesus promises that he will always walk close beside us.

 

Psalm 23:1-4: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

 

He will lead us the right way. He knows when we need quiet and rest. We don’t walk through any sorrow or hard thing alone.

 

Matthew 28:19-20: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

 

He has given us a huge assignment, to lead others to him and to teach them what he says. But it is a daily walk, and he promises to walk with us the whole time.

 

Hebrews 13:5:  Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

 

        What a promise. What a comfort.
