True godliness leaves the world convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the only explanation for you, is Jesus Christ, to whose eternally unchanging and altogether adequate “I AM!” your heart has learned to say with unshatterable faith, “Thou art!”

Wherever You Go

Apr18

I am taking a break from meditating in Hosea for a bit. There are a lot of changes coming my way in the next few weeks (and probably months). I was trying really hard to not stress about it and to keep my eyes on Jesus, but wasn’t doing so well . . . . until the Lord gave me this verse . . .

Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be you dismayed
for the LORD your God is with you
wherever you go. ~ Joshua 1:9

You can tell yourself what you are supposed to be doing (or not doing). Your friends and family can tell you. But when God speaks . . . it changes everything.
