GOD IS WITH YOU IN ALL THINGS

” BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS! DO NOT BE AFRAID OR DISCOURAGED. FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.” JOSHUA 1:9

It doesn’t matter what kind of struggles you are going through. You may be sick, depressed, angry, confused, bitter, worried, fearful or doubting, but the Lord is with us to help us through whatever we are going through. It doesn’t matter how large or small the struggles are, our Lord is right there to help. We can never give up. The devil and his army of evil is always there to try to stop God’s work. He is always there throwing obstacles in our way. But our God has given us the Holy Spirit to live within us and be with us through all things. We must, however, learn to discern what the Holy Spirit is telling us. We must learn how to use his power. We must first know God’s word. We must know right from wrong and good from bad. We must be willing to meditate upon his word daily and to continue to build our faith. We must remember to take time to pray and ask for the help we need. Even though God knows what we need before we ask, we still need to take it before him. We must be willing to take time to listen and follow the directions he is giving us. We must never go to him with prayer and then pick the prayer request back up and take it with us. We must leave it with him knowing that he has answered it. We must thank him and praise him for the answer even though we may not have experienced its manifestation in our lives. We must truly trust in him to answer and provide the answers to our prayers from his timetable and not ours. He must be first in our lives with nothing before him. When this happens, we will be living in his righteousness and in his love and protection.
