Facing the Future

Do not fear or tremble before them, for the Lord your God is the One who is going with you. . . Be strong and courageous, for you will accompany these people to the land that the Lord promised to give their ancestors, and you will enable them to inherit it. . . He will be with you; He will not fail you or abandon you. Do not be afraid or discouraged. (Deuteronomy 31:6-8)

 There is nothing like a promise from Almighty God. He cannot lie and we see the evidence throughout the Scriptures. He keeps His word. When He says "I will", He will and when He says "I will not", well, He will not! 

He was with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, David, and all the rest. He came down from heaven as a man to walk with the disciples and make Himself a sacrifice for us all. He has left His Spirit available today for all who will choose to walk with Him. And He will never leave us once we sincerely choose . . .

 In this world today, we are facing giants. The future we face is a strange land with many ungodly practices. Will we enter with boldness or fear? Will we partner with God or the world? Will we carry the torch of those before us or abandon the cause?

Oh and in case you gong to say "that's Old Testament" stuff, get this! 

I will never leave you and I will never abandon you . . . (Hebrews 13:5)

Where. Is God in your life today? Have you abandoned Him? Have you even decided to follow Him? Do you know Him?
