NEVER ALONE
“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 NLT
Have you ever noticed that when you talk on your phone concerning just about anything, you start to get advertisements in your email and even in your social media accounts? Artificial intelligence is literally taking over the world, listening to our conversations and operating to assist in everyday life. However, the creator still remains on His throne and reigns supreme over any and everything we could ever create.
“And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.”
1 John 5:14-15 NLT
It happens quite often but during my prayer time this morning, I was pouring my heart out explaining to an all knowing God that I got a lot going on. I was also asking for the grace to see it all through. And just before I open my devotional I always ask, “Ok God, what do You have for me today?” I can’t make it up. The title of today’s devotional was “Our Strain Is Gain”. I could have jumped out my seat!! Thank you Lord that you hear me when I speak and You know my thoughts. And you answer me immediately!!
What if we put more trust into a Holy God than we did AI or our own strengths? How much greater would life be? How much greater would the world be. I know the answer to that question! Confidence in Him removes all doubts and all fears. An assurance that the Father goes before you and with you everywhere you go, gives you the ability to go anywhere and ask for anything. Sheeshhhhhh!!! Why not!!
“What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”
Romans 8:31 NLT
Life hasn’t been easy and if you know me or have been tuned in thus far, you know it has been quite a roller coaster. It’s ALL been worth it. I am not the same person. Each ride strengthened, prepared and equipped me for all that He has instore. I am starting to see the fruits of my labor and prayers are answered almost as soon as it leaves my mouth. And sometimes even if I think it. That is a gift He offers to us all. 🎶Who wouldn’t serve a God like this🎶
There’s another in the fire. (Daniel 3:25)
Be fearless, we are NEVER ALONE!
