A Timely Reminder

Deuteronomy 31:8 The Lord will lead you. He himself is with you. He will not fail you or leave you. Don’t worry. Don’t be afraid!”

It’s bad enough when we have to travel through the storms of life. But navigating those storms on our own, being alone, which is often how we feel in the middle of a storm … well, that makes things about ten times worse, don’t you think?

There have been times in my life when I’ve been overwhelmed by my circumstances. And I’m guessing that there have been times in your life when you’ve been overwhelmed by your circumstances too.

For me, it doesn’t happen all that often but it happens to all of us at some point. And without being the harbinger of doom and gloom, it’s going to happen again sometime for you and for me. Maybe you’re going through that right now.

So it’s time for … well, a timely reminder of what God’s up to because He hasn’t abandoned you. He hasn’t lost control. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth!

Deuteronomy 31:8 The Lord will lead you. He himself is with you. He will not fail you or leave you. Don’t worry. Don’t be afraid!”

As things turn out, God has already gone before you. Nothing you’re going through right now and nothing that you’re going to go through in the future is any surprise to Him.

And if you’re imagining that your problems, your temptations, your trials, even your failures … that anything in your circumstances is going to throw Him off course … stop imagining. Stop worrying.

Don’t be afraid, don’t be dismayed; because your God is right in the middle of this thing with you. No, He hasn’t forgotten you, and no … He hasn’t deserted you. In point of fact, He’s right here with you, right now. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that that’s something He wanted you to know today.

Like I said … a timely reminder.

That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
