God Plus Us

UV 3730/10000 God Plus Us Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame. Isaiah 50 v 7 The Lord is Sovereign in our lives. His will is supreme, His word is supreme in our lives. Though He is Sovereign in power and authority, on account of His great love for us, He manifests Himself to us as Ebenezer and hides His awesome power that it might harm us or cause us to fear. He manifests Himself as our Helper. Since He helps us, we will not surely be put to shame. We will not be disgraced. We will not have to hide like Adam and Eve when they first sinned. We will not be put to shame before our earthly enemies or our spiritual foes. We are certain of being vindicated and therefore, victorious against all odds in life. Since we have this confidence in God Almighty, we can set our faces like flint, implying we do not have to flinch with fear like the frail men we are. God is infinite in strength and wisdom. Hence, God plus us are invincible, a deadly combination, a winning team. We can be determined, dedicated, devoted like Jesus when he set His face towards the cross. Jesus ascended the cross knowing for sure that in history and in eternity He would not be disgraced, His death on the cross would not be in vain but it would give hope and salvation to all who hope in it. Certainty of faith will help us not skip a single heart beat as we rest assured that the Lord will rush to our help in every circumstance, even death threatening ones, even circumstances that seem to put us to shame, when we look as if we are defeated and humiliated. Arrow heads used to be made of hard flint stone. When we have faith in Jesus, in His awesome power and grace, we will be like flint stone arrow heads, darting straight to fulfill the purpose God has set for our lives. Nothing can detract us, distract us, disturb us, deter us or divert us.
