Our Heavenly Father Understands Us And Never Leaves Us Alone
/ The unique nature of the incarnation is that God not only chose to visit us but for a while he chose to become like us.
That’s unusual because Kings may visit their subjects but they do not think of living like them.
Christ visited us on earth for 33 years. He was born the way we were born, lived in the community mankind just as we have, and experienced all of our passions, triumphs, joys and disappointments. He even wept. He not only visited, he assumed our nature. The incarnation marks "God with us."
God sees our daily needs. He scrupulously separates our needs from our wants and knows exactly what we need to both survive and thrive. He sees our need for food, clothing and shelter health care and emotional support. The scriptures indicate that God sees the need of even the most ordinary person.
In Matthew 6:28 Jesus told his disciples to consider the lilies of the field how God feeds and clothes them. He said if God pays attention to the lilies he would also care for their needs. It’s easy for him to see it because he is with us.
No matter what our situation God sees our need. This should be a reason for hope for every believer because we know that our individual situation is not unnoticed by the savior because he is with us each and every day. Therefore, the songwriter asks, “Why should I be discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should my heart be lonely and long for heaven and home?
For Jesus is my portion. A constant friend is he.
His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me.” Do not be afraid My children thus says The Lord " I am with you, I will never leave you nor forsake you "
