“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” V 9

Those who repent with a humble heart, will find forgiveness, and restoration from the Father. He is the one true god! All can have access through Jesus, to those who believe. May we pray today, for those who do not know this joy, and are facing many struggles. As Paul says, make my Joy complete.

Don’t ever think you are alone in your struggles. Each and everyone will struggle. Know that God is faithful. He will not forsake us and also provides us a way of escape. The church body is our sanctuary, find those who are honest with their own struggles, and encourage one another to fight the good fight, to run the race with endurance, to walk and not grow weary. Most importantly, it is not us who can win the battle, Jesus has done that for us. Is this not truly good NEWS?

Truly, contentment comes from following the Lord. On the other hand, those who don’t, will find despair. As for me and my house, we will follow the Lord.

Great and mighty, are your works Oh Lord. It is you who hold all things together. It is you who created the foundations of the earth. It is you who hold the stars in place and keep the oceans from covering the whole earth. Most wonderful, is that you love us, in spite of our imperfect ways, yet Jesus made us whole. You call us adopted sons and daughters. In all these troubled times, we are truly blessed.

You are the strength when I am weak, you are the treasure that I seek, you are my all in all.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For thou art with me. Father, you are that outstretched hand that helps me that leap of faith, every day, every hour, every minute. I am yours, and you call me by name.

The painful truth, yet joyful reality, that God loved us so much, to give Jesus as an offering for our wicked hearts, that whomever would believe in him, would live, just as Jesus would live again, as he rose from the grave, and conquered death.

This is a veiled prediction of Jesus’ death on the cross. Jesus referred to the story of Nu 21:5–9 where the Israelite people who looked at the serpent lifted up by Moses were healed. The point of this illustration or analogy is in the “lifted up.” Just as Moses lifted up the snake on the pole so that all who looked upon it might live physically, those who look to Christ, who was “lifted up” on the cross, will live spiritually and eternally.

It is our HEART, that the Lord is interested in, not checking off a box, that WE did something right before him. When we humbly bow down before him, he lifts us up! It is him who must work through us, not We, ourselves. Thank you Jesus, that you gave us your helper, your Holy Spirit, and your word, to guide and direct us. ❤️
