Today's Scripture<br />
“Have not I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be<br />
discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”<br />
Joshua 1:9<br />
GOD GOES WHERE YOU GO<br />
How encouraging and comforting it is to know that wherever we go God is<br />
there with us. We nd ourselves in certain situations and we wonder if God is<br />
paying attention. We may feel so alone and even depressed. We can't feel God's<br />
presence, and we need His guidance and help. Sometimes it's hard to be<br />
strong, and courageous. But for us to feel His presence and know that He is<br />
guiding us; we as His children need to believe in His promises and learn to be<br />
strong and courageous. God makes His promises and He keeps them.<br />
The people close to you many a times don't really understand what you are<br />
going through. But God does and HE CARES. God is telling you exactly what He<br />
told Joshua, to be strong and to have courage. Then He told him a wonderful<br />
truth: "The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Yes, that's right<br />
wherever! We don't have to feel all alone. God is with you. He knows you by<br />
your name and He is working out the problems, and you don't even realize it.<br />
You need to come to that place where you will allow Him to take hold of your<br />
hand and you in turn will let your hand remain rmly in His hand. That is<br />
when you will begin to appreciate all He is doing for you and know that He is<br />
always with you.<br />
I want to encourage you to hold on to your faith, rely on it, lean on it. Know that<br />
it is natural to feel inadequate, normal to have apprehension, ordinary to be<br />
unsure of yourself, but be strong and of good courage, be not frightened,<br />
neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.<br />
For you to be strong, and courageous you must stay the path...you must not<br />
turn...you must not compromise...you must not become distracted....you<br />
must not become detoured from what the will of God is.<br />
Faithfulness and focus are the keys.<br />
Prayer<br />
For The Day<br />
Father God, thank you for<br />
being with me wherever I<br />
go and thank you for<br />
knowing me by my name.<br />
I choose to believe in<br />
your promises. Help me<br />
to be strong and<br />
courageous. I will stay on<br />
the path of faithfulness<br />
and will continue to trust<br />
in you in the mighty<br />
name of Jesus! Amen.<br />
