Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” -
Joshua 1:9-10.
The mountains in front of me look gigantic. And, I recall, the God I serve is a mountain-moving God.
oh, and here's another:
If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!
-Proverbs 24:10.
I don't want to have small strength. Lord, please don't let me falter.
Yes, the walk of life is tough.
The walk of faith in ministry is some of the tougher steps I have taken.
But, God is faithful. He is faithful today, as He was in the yesterday's of my storms.
Why, now, would I doubt?
Maybe some of you are in the same boat, still dancing through the storms of life.
May you find courage in His word today and relief in His promises.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. -1 Peter 5:10.
God is in you, you cannot fail! -Psalm 46:5.
Yes, but birthing a book for America. Taking to the airwaves to spread His truth on Christian TV, requires boots of a soldier, steady and sure, the armor of God and a whole lot of praying warriors to come along side of you. I am in need of this today.
The trust, the gaze, my heart, my hopes, they all belong to God, the only one who can deliver me. But the prayers and compassion of others is always a welcome and comfort in the waiting.
Be Strong and Courageous.
Do not be terrified:
Do not be discouraged.
For the Lord your God
Will be with you
Wherever you go.
-Joshua 1:9.
Wherever I go.
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. -Psalm 23.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. -Psalm 23.
Even in the valley of death. Even on the darkest days.
Even in the biggest leaps of faith. Even when I risk it all For His Name.
He will never leave me nor forsake me. -Hebrews 13:5.
Gird yourself up, for ministry, for life, for America, for heaven.
Turn to the left and the right of you and though war break out, remain in His confidence. Turn back and help those with feeble footing, turn to the left and the right and help your neighbors along the journey of life wherever, however, you can. Keep your gaze upward and your prayers unceasing to Heaven. Know that He is the faithful one and the only one who can.
And, if your heart is moved today, read and share my journey of extraordinary faith across America for God & Country: All things Are Possible.
