god is with us but are we with god?

 (Isaiah 43:2) says: When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Isreal, your Savior. We are all passing through the waters right now and God is with us. And through the rivers, but they shall not overflow us. We are walking through the fire, and we are not burned, nor does the flame scorch us because God is with us. As we cross over into 2021 Let us not forget how we got here. If it hadn't been for the Love of God His grace and mercies, we never would've made it. 2020 was like no other year that anyone have ever experienced in our lifetime. The whole world has turned upside down in a matter of months. I asked a question in my first message on Facebook which was, Is this the beginning of Sorrow that Jesus said would mark our time? Is this prophecy unfolding? What does the bible says about these disasters, pestilence and signs. Matthew 24 warned us about these events that must come to pass, is the worse yet to come? My word of encouragement to us all is, don't allow yourself to be distracted in anyway, because this is what the enemy wants us to do. The moment we allow ourselves to lose focus, that's when God will put in His appearance. So don't be caught with your guard down keep looking up and keep praying one for another. Stay focused and grounded in the word of God. This Pandemic is a wake-up call for us all. Happy New Year to you all Stay blessed and stay safe.
