Hi All

Zephaniah 3:17 tells us " The Lord God is in our midst" which  gives all believers the assurance that God is present with us in every situation and in the book of Matthew Jesus promises For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."(Matthew 18:20). For Christians “God in our midst” can also refer to the presence of the “Holy Spirit” within us. When we know God is with us it makes it easier to cope in difficult times and it can be a great source of joy and peace in our lives Praise God !

Be Blessed and Encouraged

God is in Our Midst

"For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.'

(Isaiah 41:13)

Peter, Paul, and Silas had many reasons to worry. Acts 12 describes Peter’s unjust imprisonment by King Herod for seven to eight days and his upcoming trial which would almost certainly lead to his death. (Acts 12: 2–6). But Peter didn’t lose any sleep over his trial and impending death; the Scriptures record he “was sleeping between two soldiers” (Acts 12:6 6). Peter experienced the peace that can come only through trusting God.

Paul and Silas were brutally beaten and unjustly imprisoned (Acts 16:22–24). Instead of worrying, they praised God through the night (Acts 12:25). They experienced joy and peace in the midst of life’s terrors.This is the peace that “transcends all understanding” which Paul spoke  about in Philippians 4:6–7. 

When we can’t sleep because we’re troubled by the trials of life, we can talk to our Good Shepherd and we  “can cast all our anxiety on Him because He cares for us”(1 Peter 5:7).When we understand The Lord is with us we can go to sleep at night in peace just as David stated “In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety”(Psalm 4:8).No matter what face in life we are never alone as God is always with us and in control Amen !
