About this Blog...

This blog is meant to be a testimony to God's Faithfulness & His Glory.
In Old Testament times, God's people would build altars & monuments that would serve as a reminder of all that God did for His people. Today, we have the same opportunity to pay tribute to God's lavish blessing over our lives. This blog is a modern-day version of the Old Testament monument. May all who visit here and read the things written be inspired to be grateful for the blessings in their own lives and find reason to ascribe glory & honor to Almighty God --- for His unfailing love, infinite mercy & amazing grace!

God WITH us

I am so thankful that Jesus walks with me each day.  He has promised to never leave me...I can be confident in that assurance!
When Jesus came to earth as a baby He was called "Emmanuel" - God WITH us.  He came to live and walk among mankind....to be WITH us.  He accomplished God's redemption plan by dying on the cross.  But, even death could not keep Him from us....three days later He rose from the grave.  He appeared to a group of His closest followers shortly after He arose.  It was there that He made the following statement....."Lo, I am with you always." - Matthew 28:20  Again, He is establishing His intention to always be WITH us.  Hallelujah!

The following quote is from J. Hudson Taylor - it is a favorite of mine.
"  "The LORD is my Shepherd".  Not was, not may be, nor will be.  "The LORD is my Shepherd," is on Sunday, is on Monday, and is through every day of the week;  is in January, is in December, and every month of the year;  is at home, and is in China;  is in peace, and is in war;  in abundance, and in penury."
