PROMISES FOR THE NEW YEAR... Suppose that when you woke up today an angel stood before you and said:And the Lord,he it is that doth go before thee;he will be with thee,he will not fail thee,neither forsake thee;fear not,neither be dismayed. Deuteronomy 31:8..Will you be afraid to face the new year? Those words were actually spoken by Joshua to Gods people as they prepared to cross the Jordan.We, too, can claim the promises contained in this verse: PROMISE 1: THE LORD GOES BEFORE YOU..All you have to do is stay close enough to walk in His footsteps.Its like following someone who carries a torch through a dungeon. Stay close and you wont stumble,but lag behind and you are quickly engulfed in darkness. PROMISE 2: THE LORD WILL BE WITH YOU. Would you hesitate to face your problems if you knew the Lord was with you? Even if youre facing a Goliath,one plus God makes a majority. PROMISE 3: THE LORD WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU..As Jesus walked up the Mount Olives for the last time. He said,Lo,I am with you always,even unto the end of the age. We usually fear what we dont understand,but God is telling us as we face the unknown.Do not be afraid and do not be discouraged. Where are you in relation to this passage in Deuteronomy?Write your name next to the verse and say,But as for me and my house,we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15..I will serve the Lord no matter what this year brings. Have not I commanded thee?Be strong and of a good courage;be not afraid,neither be thou dismayed:for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9
