Where do you go
to get strength and encouragement? Do you talk to a friend or sibling or
parent? Or, do you talk to God first?
He’s the One Sovereign
over all. He has all the answers and all wisdom. He’s watching over everything.
My parents and
sister have had several health challenges recently that have been scary. Then,
there have been some huge decisions made in a couple of the non-profit
organizations where I’m involved. Some have been stressful and/or confusing.
As I was crying
and praying, God reminded me of the verses my kids and I memorized a couple
weeks ago.
Joshua 1:8-9 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on
it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.
Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not
commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be
discouraged, for the Lord your
God will be with you wherever you go.”
I don’t need to
be afraid or discouraged. God is with me and will be with me wherever I go! He
and His Word are to be my focus. As I meditate on His Word and listen to Him
daily, He will provide the direction, strength, and encouragement He knows I
need. He can do the same for you! Will you choose to daily spend time with God,
learning His truths? Then, we will be better able to rely on His strength and recognize
His presence!
