Assurance Through God's Presence

“Then God spoke to Jacob, ‘I will go down with you to Egypt’.” Genesis 46:3-4

 Years before Jacob was born there had been a famine in the land of Canaan. God had warned his father not to go down into Egypt to escape it. Now Jacob was being called by Joseph to go down into Egypt. With all his desire to see his son, this departure from the land of promise must have been very hard for him. God wanted to assure Jacob that going to Egypt was the right thing to do.

Change is difficult, sometimes very difficult. We fear and fret over making decisions that involve change as if our setting or our things dictate our security. God said to Jacob, “I will go down to Egypt with you.” He wanted to assure Jacob that who he had with him was more important than where he was. Jesus said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” That is His promise that should help us adjust more easily to earthly changes that come our way.

Dear Father, Help me to find my true security in Your presence with me. Amen.
