01/29 Matthew 28:20
20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
ALWAYS
Jesus is always with us. He is with you. This moment. Every moment. He knows all about and still declares His great love for you. Trust in the Lord. Lean upon Him and He will see you through whatever difficulty you face.
01/28 Isaiah 41:10
10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
FEAR
Fear is the enemy’s weapon. It challenges our faith in the presence and love of the Lord. Jesus is Lord and He will never leave us of this we can be sure. Trust in the Lord and He will save you from your fear. He loves you. He will never leave you. Trust in the Lord.
01/27 Genesis 28:15
15 What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.”
FULL
The Lord will fill us up to full if we will spend the time with Him that lets Him teach us to persevere in the face of obstacles and challenges. The World, our flesh and the Devil are seeking to overthrow us. Lord keep us safe and make me able to stand in the face of attack. I need you Lord. Thank you.
01/26 1 Kings 8:57
57 May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us or abandon us.
NEVER
Oh Lord, please never leave me. Stand with me and claim my attention. I want to know you and know you better every day Lord. Please, help me to invest the time and focus that will equip me to change and become more like you day by day.
01/25 Psalm 94:14
14 The LORD will not reject his people; he will not abandon his special possession.
OWNED
We are owned by the Lord. We belong to Him body and soul. He is with us. He loves us. He will lead, guide and direct us every day. Walk with Him. Let Him have your attention. Jesus is Lord.
01/24 1 Chronicles 28:20
20 Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the LORD is finished correctly.
ALWAYS
The Lord always sees us through until we stand before Him in glory. Learn to listen to the Lord. Let Him lift up your spirits. Let Jesus fill your mind and heart with His love and presence. We need Him every hour of every day. He will not neglect us or forget us. He is not like us for He is God. Serve the Lord and let Him have control of you.
01/23 Hebrews 13:8
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
NO CHANGE
We change every hour, every day and respond to things in differing ways. We are not like Jesus. He is always the same. He loves us and always responds to us with love.
01/22 Joshua 1:9
9 This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
PRESENCE
We are in the presence of the Lord always. When things are difficult, stop, sit, pray in your heart and mind and the presence of the Living Lord will fill you with strength and courage. It takes real courage to fight discouragement. Be about the business of a Christian Life knowing that the Lord is with you.
01/21 Hebrews 13:6
6 So we can say with confidence, “The LORD is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”
LIFE
We are not at the mercy of the world. Life for a believer is life here and now and life with the Lord. One day we will cross over from this life to the next and will live in the presence of the Lord. This will be life like His life which is eternal. Our Father is safeguarding our life from this very moment unto eternity. What can people do to you?
01/20 Joshua 1:7
7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.
BE AND DO
When we focus our life and heart on Jesus we will be successful in all we do. Those things we do will be that which the Lord has called us to do. The key is to love one another. Note that it doesn’t say we are to love the lovely-it says love one another. Christ died for each one of us from the best to the worst. When he calls us he doesn’t require that we go away and come back when we are better. He calls us to come to Him and He will give us the rest, strength, wisdom and actions that will create a life like His.
