He is with us - Always!

Have you ever had one of those moments when you are reading your Bible and a scripture just leaps off the page and grabs your heart? That happened to me this morning. It wasn't a "new" scripture, to me. I had read it many times before and even had it highlighted in my Bible! But today, as I prepare to speak at a women's retreat and as I look toward taking an extended summer mission trip, the Lord impressed on me that I need to memorize these verses. So that's what I'm going to do! I have written them on an index card and put that card in my little Jesus Calling devotional book. 

Today, Jesus is calling me to memorize scripture, which I really haven't done in years. He is also assuring me that He will be with me wherever I go, both at home and abroad. He is with me.

What is Jesus calling you to do today?

"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...the Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

                                                                          Deuteronomy 31:6 & 8

 

     "I lift my eyes unto the hills. Where does my help come from? 

      My help comes from the Lord, the maker of Heaven and earth!"
