Nisan 25
WITH Me
“… for You are WITH me …” (Ps 23:4 ISR, emphasis mine)
This is a
statement we must learn to accept as
fact, as truth. We must know what we believe, whom we believe
in, and know that our Elohim is not
capable of telling a lie (see 1Sam 15:29).
If He has said He will do something,
then it is as good as done.
When we look at
the life of the author of Psalm 23, we learn that David, the shepherd King,
knew what he was talking about. From his
experiences as a youth guarding the sheep, his battle with Goliath (see 1Sam
17), through his “hide and seek” with King Saul, and to his later battles while
he himself was King, David knew the
presence of his Creator. His emunah – his faith, trust and belief -
in the One that formed him had been tried and tested, and came forth as pure
gold.
When seasons of
doubt attempt to overwhelm us, all we need to do is look in the rear-view
mirror. When we begin to recount the
many times, the many circumstances, the many situations that YHWH our Elohim
brought us through, when He was walking right there with us, our vision will
once more readjust, and our emunah
will once again be strong. We have His Word on it.
“Be strong and
courageous, do not fear nor be afraid of them. For it is יהוה your Elohim who is going with you. He does not fail you nor
forsake you.” (Deu 31:6 ISR)
“For He Himself has said, “I shall never leave you nor forsake you …” (Heb 13:6 ISR)
