Passage: Ecclesiastes 4:1-3
A God in the midst
Lev 26:11,12 ‘Moreover, I will make My dwelling among you, and My soul will not reject you. ‘I will also walk among
you and be your God, and you shall be My people. Zech 2:10 I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,
Jn 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us
Rev 21:3 ...He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them
5 God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. 6 The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered; He raised His voice, the earth melted. 7 The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah. 8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, who has wrought desolations in the earth. 9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire. 10 “Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” 11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our
stronghold.
Suffering turns up the volume of what matters most in your life,
and for me it is knowing that God is there with me in the midst of even my darkest nights.
