Today’s Promise
April 20, 2022
I Will Always be With You
Teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:20
Jesus is With You
Jesus promised to be with you wherever you go. Through the Holy Spirit in you, He will comfort, guide, and empower you today.
In the last three verses of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus makes three incredible statements.
First, He declares that He has all authority in heaven and earth.
Second, He instructs His disciples to take the gospel to the ends of the earth.
Finally, He makes the promise we focus on today. “I am with you always.”
Jesus had already promised He would be with the disciples when they gathered together (Matthew 18:20). Now He promised to be with them individually.
Through the Holy Spirit
Jesus couldn’t make this promise when He walked on the earth. He could only be in one place at a time. However, through the Holy Spirit that would soon come, He would be with all His followers all the time.
As they traveled to the ends of the earth sharing the good news of the gospel, they could be confident that Jesus was with them, empowering them with boldness, strength, and guidance.
No matter where they went, Jesus would be right there with them.
Wherever you are today, Jesus is with you. His Holy Spirit will comfort and guide you. His presence will strengthen and give you courage. He will assure you that you are right where He wants you. He is with you, supplying all your needs and empowering you to accomplish His will.
A Perpetual Promise
You have His perpetual promise that no matter where you go, He will be with you. He will lead you, empower you, and comfort you every moment of the day.
When you are all alone and feeling lonely, remember His promise to be with you. When you feel abandoned by others, remember there is one who has said, He will be with you always.
There is no condition to this promise. Jesus gave an unconditional guarantee that He will be with you wherever you go.
Look at that promise one more time.
Teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. – Matthew 28:20
Make these confessions.
- No matter where I go, Jesus is with me.
- He empowers me to accomplish everything He commands.
- His presence is with me and in me.
- The Holy Spirit empowers, guides, and comforts me.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
As you go through your day, remember, through the Holy Spirit, Jesus is with you. Rest in His presence and trust His guidance.

God has never left me or forsaken me, not even for one moment. When my beloved husband died, and every moment and day that has passed by since,God has never left my side, he has never left me alone or lonely. If anything he has increased His presence in my life. I will always Praise His Holy Name.. Jesus,Jesus,Jesus
I believe God has always been with me, through the Holy Spirit. He saved my life from what could have been a fatal accident. His presence continues to guide me when I find myself at crossroads in life. Thank You Lord Jesus for your Grace and Mercy. Thank You.Thank You.Thank You.
