“And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”

Deuteronomy 31:8

God is a God of order. Everything He does is done right and for our benefit even though we may not realize it.

Caesar lives in Queens, New York. While visiting Paris one summer, he didn't feel well. His feet felt weak and once he even fell to the ground. That was a strange occurrence he thought. He enjoyed his entire stay in Paris, then went off to San Diego to visit his brother. Once again while in San Diego, the same thing happened. Caesar felt the weakness in his feet and he fell to the ground. He assured his brother that this had happened to him while in Paris and it would soon correct itself. Sure enough, it only happened that one time while in San Diego.

Now it was time to return home to New York. Once Caesar boarded the plane, he fell. The flight attendant helped him to his seat. Upon his arrival to New York, Caesar was unable to get up to exit the plane. A wheelchair was brought to carry him to the hospital. He called his mother Eva, who was scheduled to pick him up, and she met him at the hospital. They learned that Caesar had hyperthyroidism, a condition if left untreated could have caused paralysis in his legs.

Imagine if Caesar was unable to walk the first time the symptoms occurred while he was in Paris. He would have been thousands of miles from home, in a foreign land, where they speak a foreign language that Caesar doesn’t know. No insurance, no family, no support. Imagine how much his beloved mother would worry, unable to help him as best as a mother would want to.

But God...

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think….” Ephesians 3:20.

“Dear Father in heaven, You know how little money I have for my family, but I choose to put You first. On everything I make, I will put 10% into the offering plate to further Your work.” Immediately, he counted the money in his pocket and gave 10% on the pitiful amount. Nevertheless, he promised God that he would continue to return 10% of his income, no matter what. Within three months, unexpected blessings began to happen. Alexander found a...

God is always within our reach, so He knows where we are at all times, even if we try to run away. In that case, if God is always with us, do we need to be afraid when He calls us, even if the situation is less than desirable? Are we going to make God work overtime and do...
