Deuteronomy 31:8 "And the LORD, He it is that doth go before thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."
It is sometimes easy to be overwhelmed, discouraged, fearful or worried in our world today. It's hard not to turn on the TV without seeing a news program or advertisement that seems the intent is to scare us in to doing something we might not do otherwise. We drive down the road and we see signs and billboards that say if we don't vote for their candidate or buy their product our world will collapse around us. We walk into a store and the displays all are made nice and attractive so we will not miss the latest and greatest product to fix our need, to cure our pain, to satisfy our hunger, well you get the idea. I mean we are even afraid to answer our phones anymore because we know someone (or recording) is on the other end with the intent to sell something, take a donation, scam us or something. I feel so often, I'm going through life with someone trying to make me fearful to buy something or do something, just to make it another hour or so. Right?
It seems that in almost every interaction with our outside world, someone or something is trying to make us less comfortable and even fearful that if we don't do this or that our future will be very uncertain. Well, it's good to know that many of these things are nice to have, make our lives more comfortable and aid with making our lives better. But I resist the premise that the marketers must scare us to make a decision.
I'm glad to know, I can rest in the assurance in knowing who I have with me today. Even whatever tomorrow holds, I know God is already there. I may find myself at times on a road of uncertainty, not feeling as if I don't know where to turn and experiencing something that just makes me less comfortable. But I'm so glad to know, I can trust in God! He is with me now, He is already where I'm going. He Is God!!! He will never leave me or forsake me. He is waiting for me tomorrow with open arms and my path is already prepared.
I hope you will enjoy hearing this wonderful song this morning and I pray it will bring you encouragement and joy on this beautiful Thursday!
This comes from an album titled "Pray For Me". I hope you will always!
