As I continue to face my challenges, the Lord continues to draw me to focus on Him once again. Not only did I read it from my quiet time the whole of last week, two messages in a row from my church's pastors point to the same direction - that Jesus has won and Satan has lost!
I spent the week fighting the lying thoughts from the devil that I should give up the fight. But the Lord kept encouraging me to keep going. He reminded me of Hebrews 13:1-8 and especially in verse 6, "So we say with confidence. 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?'"
In Nov 2006, I shared my learning from Joshua 1. What I shared then, is now coming back to encourage me. Joshua 1:9 says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Indeed, I remind myself and encourage you to remember that our Lord will be with us wherever we go, for He is Jehovah Shammah, the God who is there (for us) !
God bless.
Steven
