Be Strong and Courageous

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. – Deuteronomy 31:6

Here’s a link to a poem I wrote this morning: The Lord Your God Goes With You.

  1. I was just reading this verse a little while ago then came across it here as well. Love it. Such a great reminder of God’s peace that He gives us every day, no matter what.

      It is a wonderful verse for situations we face as we journey through life. During times of worry or fear, we can be assured that God is with us. Thanks for sharing Brian.

    A funny thing happened last night. I had a brief dream that God was asking me to ‘give my son up’, in the sense that He was going to call him into a new ministry far away. I woke up and chewed on it a bit, wondering if the dream was from God, then I turned on the light to jot it down in my journal. With the light on, I noticed there was a message on my mobile, which turned out to be a link to this blog post. The Scripture leapt out at me and I felt it confirmed my dream and gave me assurance that God would be with my son wherever he went.

      Nice to meet you Deborah! The more I live and hear of stories from others, the more I believe that God sends us helpers (angels) as we journey through life. I can’t explain how the link to this blog post got to your mobile but I am glad that the scripture gave you assurance that God would be with your son. All I know to do is to pray and so I just prayed that God’s army of angels will be with you and your son.

      Have a blessed day with God,

      Mark
