"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you."
Deut. 31:6
I don't know about you, but sometimes my focus gets skewed onto life's problems. Easy enough to do, since there are a bajillion sticks poking me in the eye, tempting me to squinch my lids shut. Troubles range from small scale to large....the new contract that never comes, the prodigals, the drippy toilet or worrisome lump you discovered on your body.
But closed eyes never make problems go away.
So today, whatever tough issues you're facing, let's just take a moment to stare wide-eyed at a few truths to whack our thinking back into shape, shall we?
The battle is the Lord's.
God is on the throne. He's not stepped down or slipped off.
Yahweh is the God of impossibility. The impossible situation is where His glory shows most starkly.
He is intimately involved in this world, in your life. Intimate enough that He knows your name, that He shed tears and blood in anguish for your sake.
There is no obstacle in your life or in your loved one's life that He cannot overcome.
You are precious in His sight. He made you. He gives you breath even now.
But don't take my word for it. Crack open God's word and see for yourself.

sooo needed this today and i know i'm not the only one, thanks and blessings Michelle :)
We all need reminders, eh?
Thanks for the encouraging Scripture and words of wisdom today.
Great post, Michelle, and so true! So encouraging! Yes, we need to look into God's Word daily and ponder everything that He shows us. Never forget to pray before you read from the Word, for God to reveal new truths to you. So many people simply open their Bibles and just start reading and wonder why it is boring to them, or why they never learn anything new. If we ask, He will open our eyes to the scriptures that pertain to our lives at that moment. Hugs!
Now that is a great reminder, Chaplain!
