That was me to someone a few minutes ago, and the message from all my long posts! OUR GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US, and we can incredibly tap into His strength, love, wisdom, abilities, favor, and guidance on a moment-by-moment basis. In every relationship, every decision, every circumstance, I want us asking, ‘God, how may I enter this moment to glorify you?’ I promise you, this is how He lovingly and intimately guides us on the best pathways for our lives! I love this old post I read in my appointment with Him today:

FEELING HEAVILY SUPPORTED BY GOD

Yeah, baby! The way He constantly shows up for me to let me know He is with me gives me such joy, peace, courage, and strength, KNOWING THERE IS NEVER A MOMENT GOD HIMSELF IS NOT WITH ME. Even this morning, I did not want to get out of bed (rough week!), but He found a way to let me know He was there. I felt Him nudging me to read my book, Keep Calm, You’re Rolling With God, from where I had last left off and this post from eight years ago showed up:

“I feel God is saying something similar to us: STICK WITH ME, and you’ll live the sweetest life, filled with peace, joy, gratitude, and contentment, despite all the challenges you may face.

▪ But, God, I’m tired. STICK WITH ME. Your weakness is a gift, drawing us closer together as you realize I’m your strength. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9, NIV). Imagine I am with you and holding your hands every moment.

▪ But, God, some people are talking about me and insulting me. STICK WITH ME. “You will make small account of words which fly. If you do not desire to please others, nor fear to displease them, you will enjoy much peace.” –The Imitation of Christ

▪ But, God, these problems I’m dealing with are too overwhelming! STICK WITH ME, as I direct you one step at a time. I will help you plan your day so that you will do less but accomplish more. Trust Me in every situation, and focus on doing the “intuitively” right and excellent thing in every moment, example and experience. And you will come through each challenge stronger, wiser, more mature, and closer to Me. I will never leave you or forsake you. I am your Teacher, Helper, Supporter, Friend, and Companion.

▪ But, God, this person did me wrong. STICK WITH ME. Stay on the high road, and I will pay you back whatever they took from you and more. “Even your mistakes can be recycled into something good…” — Jesus Calling

Our Father, pardon our sins and may we live our lives completely focused on You. Help us to get back up whenever we fall, dust ourselves off, and keep moving forward with You. Amen.”

I smiled with God, feeling that this was Him speaking to me saying, Nik, STICK WITH ME. Maybe like ten minutes later, I felt a God thought come to mind saying that I should look at the comforter next to me. Can you believe all over this comforter are the words “STICK WITH ME?” See the love I feel from God. On one side of the comforter, there is a huge “STICK WITH ME,” On the other side, there are sixteen smaller “STICK WITH MEs.”

This message is not only for me, though. This message is for you, too. That no matter where you find yourself right now, stick with God. No situation is too big or complicated for us to handle with Him by our side.
It’s just for us to stick with God by being obedient to what He asks of us.

And for us to know what He is asking of us, we must take time to learn His voice. Notice how He led me to read my book with that post about sticking with Him, and minutes later, the thought came to mind to look at the comforter next to me. It was a prayer I said almost 15 years ago asking for a closer walk with Him, and I consistently work on our relationship by seeking Him and having alone times with Him.

I suggest you do the same because this life is too hard to do on our own. We need His guidance, strength, help, love, favor, and support as we aim to be the greatest of all time people in the world on His behalf. We got this, and HE GOT US!!! Let’s keep going, my superheroes, staying on the high road with God as we go the extra mile in excellence, kindness, love, faithfulness, and COURAGE. Our reward is with God as He gives us more than we can ever ask or imagine. (Wink! Wink!)
