Even when we're surrounded by people, the world can be a lonely place. Into our loneliness, Jesus comes. He tells us that He is "God with us" (Matthew 1:23). He's our Friend, our best Friend, the Friend who will never leave us ans never let us down. He loves us with the greatest love of all. His love is unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable.
What God did for His people, Israel, was very great. There is a striking contrast between their slavery in Egypt and their abundance in the promised land. God had multiplied His blessing upon them, just as Jesus did when He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). If the blessing is to be maintained and increased, we must honour the Lord. We must cry to Him for blessing: "Hear my prayer, O God, listen to the words of my mouth." We must call upon Him with faith: "Surely God is my help; the Lord is the One who sustains me" (Psalm 54:2,4).
