God Goes Where You Go
Joshua 1:9 says, Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Brethren, How comforting it is to know that wherever we go, God is with us. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations and wonder if God is paying attention. We may feel so alone and depressed. We can't feel God's presence, and we need His guidance and help.
Sometimes friends, spouses, parents, even children don't really understand what we are going through. But God does and He cares. God told Joshua to be strong and to have courage. Then He told him a wonderful truth: "The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go," Yes, that's right... wherever! We don't have to feel all alone. God is with us. He is working the problems, and we don't even realize it.
Listen to this... the Lord who created you.... Says: "Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel , your Savior. From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can sn**ch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done. Isaiah 13:1-3, 13
God is with us, leading us, guiding us, loving us, providing for us -- all with His unlimited resources. What do we need? Do we need strength, peace, love, joy, or hope? He has it all. He is longing to pour out His favor and blessings upon us. We need to be open to Him and to trust Him. We need, by faith, to receive what He has for us. It is essential we realize how much He loves us and that he has a good purpose and plan for us.
When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you and I with inner strength through his Spirit. Ephesians 3:14-16
This scripture is awesome. There is nothing that God doesn't know and can't do for us. He walks with us every moment of every day. We need to speak these scriptures to our hearts daily. The devil can't stand it when we, in confidence, speak God's Word. It builds faith in us and gives us the strength to stand.
David wrote in the psalms, O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You placed your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is to wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! Psalm 139:1-6
Like David let us declare:
Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. Psalm 25:4-5
Readers, you can trust God. No matter what is going on in your life, He is there! God goes where you go.
So do not throw away this confident trust in God. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient and staying away from evil is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that He promised. Hebrews 10:35-36
God bless you.
