God will never leave you alone; God Loves You

 There are some times we could feel that no one is there beside us. Life would not be always beautiful. We have to face the problems without fail. For that, we might have doubt on one thing. Does God really abandon us? or Do because of his abandonment, the problems came to us? If we think seriously, we are born to serve each other. We also realized that we couldn't walk alone in the world as well as we have to hold God's hand. He will show our way and He will guide us. We used to look for God when we get into trouble. It would be very hard to face the burdens without God because sometimes, we forgot His promises which He had already articulated in the Bible.

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT GOD WON'T ABANDON US?
We are going to find out in Psalms 23.

Psalm 23
A psalm of David.

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.



Why does this scripture so popular?
We definitely want to be loved and cared for by significant others. Most of us believe that there is a God out there. The good news of Psalm 23 is that God really cares about each of us in a way beyond our wildest imagining. That is the meaning of God's Love and it shows that we are safe under His arms. All of this means that God personally cares for us. No matter what may come, and how many problems we face, that scripture express that God is there for us, and will never give up on us. It means, God loves you.

God not only loves us but also protects us.

This scripture is for us and we could find out the protection of the Lord.
Psalm 91
 1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
   will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
   my God, in whom I trust.”
 3 Surely he will save you
   from the fowler’s snare
   and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
   and under his wings you will find refuge;
   his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
   nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
   nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
   ten thousand at your right hand,
   but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
   and see the punishment of the wicked.

 9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
   and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
   no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
   to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
   so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
   you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

 14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
   I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
   I will be with him in trouble,
   I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
   and show him my salvation.”
