Isaiah 63:9, "In all their suffering He also suffered, and He personally rescued them. In His love and mercy He redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them through all the years." (NLT)


The next time the devil tries to tell you that God doesn't care and that you are going through a valley alone, put yourself in remembrance of Isaiah 63:9.

God does not leave us in our sufferings.  In fact, Isaiah 63:9 tells us that He is right there with us.   Want more confirmation of that truth?   Here are three more scriptures.

Daniel 3:24-25, "Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, 'Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?' They replied, 'Certainly, Your Majesty.' ²⁵ He said, 'Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a Son of the gods.'” (NIV)

Hebrews 2:18, "Since He Himself has gone through suffering and testing, He is able to help us when we are being tested." (NLT)

Still not convinced?   How about these scriptures?

Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (NIV)

Deuteronomy 31:8, "The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (NIV)

Joshua 1:9, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (NIV)

Ruth said it best in Ruth 1:16 when she reflected the very heart of God, "...Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay." (NIV)

Matthew 28:20, "...And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (NIV)

God is not sitting on the sidelines of your life or up in Heaven and out of touch far away from you.   He is right there where you are going through with you whatever you are going through.

Love and blessings,
