JESUS IS WITH YOU
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6
This verse of scripture is such comfort to the believer. We can take solace in knowing the Lord thy God is with us. Similar words were spoken to Joshua as he had the unenviable task of leading the children of Israel into the Promised Land after the death of Moses. The Lord gave him this blessed assurance, “as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” (Joshua 1:5) God had promised the land to the people. He did not say it would be a cakewalk for them, as the land was fortified and supported with great armies. They would have to go in and take the land. They were well able for God was with them. Joshua 1:9 says, “for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersover thou goest.” When Jesus is with us, we can go forth with confidence. We have the strongest and most powerful warrior known to man with us. He cannot be defeated, therefore, we will not be defeated. Jesus is with us. Jesus gave us the great commission in Matthew 28:19-20. He said in the latter part of verse 20, “I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” There we have it. We have Jesus’ own Word that He is with us. He will not fail us nor will He forsake us. God is true to His Word. Let’s Pray.
Father God, thank You for being ever-present in our lives. Help us trust You even in the midst of frightening circumstances or troubles. Help us remember, You are greater than anything we could ever face, You are within us. You are the One that causeth us to triumph. We vow to go forth with confidence in You Lord. We trust and believe You will see us through whatever we may face. Our faith grows evermore with You leading and guiding us. We say, have Your way Lord in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Be Blessed Because You are Blessed,
Pastor Donald and sister Hyon Brown
