STAND BY ME

Scripture:   Acts 27:22-24 “And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.  For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.”

    Paul encourages those that are sailing with him that they are going to endure this storm without losing one life.  The reason is because the Lord had stood by him that night and told him and Paul believed God.  I am so glad that the Lord is still standing by us as we face all of the storms and struggles of life.  
    When the trials of life are hard, He stands by me!  There are times when the trials are so hard that we just don’t know which way to go.  He stands by us in those times and gives us direction.  When we can’t seem to find His perfect will, He stands by us. Sometimes the struggles are so hard that we feel that we just can’t go on, but thank God, it’s in these hard times of life that He stands by us! 
    When we walk through the valley, He stands by us!  When we’ve left the mountain top and are walking in the deepest, darkest valley that we’ve ever been through, He will stand by our side!  Down in the valley, there will be times that sorrow and sickness will fill our way.  There are times when the dangers in the valley will bring fears to our hearts. But always remember, it’s in these times that He will stand by us.
    Then when I’m up on the mountain top, He will stand by me!  When I experience a little touch of revival in my life, thank God He’ll be there standing close by.  When I’m trying to get closer to the Lord every day and I feel those heavenly breezes from Heaven, blowing in my face, I have the assurance that He is going to continually stand by me!  Hallelujah for His promise that He’d never leave us nor forsake us.  He will always stand by you!
