He is There

Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

Deut 31:8 (NLT)

I came across these encouraging words today.

Know that He is there with you and will go with you all the way.  A fresh awareness of His presence with you will give you peace in the midst of turmoil, power for your weakness, courage for your difficulties, strength for your inadequacies, rest from your fears.  He is there with you. By faith take hold of His almightiness for your present need.  

He is able and ready to deliver you, to give you strength and courage to face that difficult or impossible situation, to give you patience, to put His words in your mouth, to fully enable you for whatever He calls you to do or to be.*

 Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Josh 1:9 (NLT)
