Читать книгу Promises for Dynamic Living - Linda Knight - Страница 11

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Promise: God promises to go wherever I go and never leave me.

When the children of Israel received this promise, they were about to enter the land promised by God. They were going to be facing their enemies in battle. This certainty of God’s presence is repeated over and over in the Bible. God desires that we have confidence and trust in Him. He does not want us to fear people, circumstances or things, but to live with assurance in Him.

Lessons and Truths:

1.Following God requires me to be courageous and unafraid.

2.God is omnipresent.

3.God is faithful and trustworthy at all times and in all circumstances.

4.God keeps His promises.

Prayer: Lord, lead me to a deeper faith and help me to realize that you are with me at all times and in all circumstances. Give me a sense of your presence today and help me to live more confidently knowing you are always with me. Amen.

What is my response to God’s promise?

Am I relying on God’s presence to daily encourage and strengthen me?

Where do I need His strength and courage today?

Do I believe with all my heart that God is always with me and God will never leave me?

How should these truths be affecting my life?
