I have this crazy thing where whenever I go out of town something goes wrong with my house.  I am not the most handy guy but some things I like to think I can fix and certainly figure out how to get it fixed.  Well once again as I am out of town my AC went down.  It makes you feel worthless when there is nothing you can do to help from afar.  It got me to thinking about how God never goes “out of town”.  When we have problems he is always available for us.  Let’s look at His words in Deuteronomy 31 together today.

6 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.” 7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. 8 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.”

Whenever we are facing tough times or challenges God promises that we do not have to be afraid or worried because He will always be with us.  I don’t know about you but that truly gives me confidence as I go through life knowing that inevitably things will happen but that no matter what I may face God will be by my side.  Hold on to that promise today and the broken Ac’s of life won’t seem so daunting. 

In His Grip,
Pastor Dave
