TAKE COURAGE! THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU!

“This is my command- be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged.  For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. ” JOSHUA 1:9

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Just as God promised Joshua he also promises you and me that he is always with us. It may seem that he has somtimes gone on vacation or has left our side to tend to another matter. However,  these ideas couldn’t be further from the truth. His promises are always true and his mind never changes. It is you and I who change. We allow the ways of this world to crowd out the desires God has for each of us. We must continue to fill ourselves with his Holy Word. It is not enough to read from the Bible just once in awhile.  It is not healthy to pray only when you want someting in your life. Our hearts must be full of his thoughts,desires, and promises. We must have excessive amounts of “God Informstion” within us so that when evil tries to overcome us we are prepared to stand strong and throw it far away. We must begin to put God’s ways into action. We must live them everyday so they become a part of us. When we do, we will become more “God Centered” and begin to have daily conversations with him. We must remember, The Lord our God in heaven is ALWAYS with us!  PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
