Walking In Grace: A 7-day Journey Of Beauty And TruthSample

"You’ll Never Walk Alone"

If you’re freaked out by change, stop trying to fight the fear on your own. Stop running. Stop hiding. Remind yourself that God is inside time – outside time – all the time. He summons each new generation from the beginning of time (Isaiah 41:4). He prepared beforehand the Kingdom ground He wanted you to plough (Ephesians 2:10). He knew the physical and spiritual contours of the continent on which He placed you long before He did the placing. He knows how the journey’s terrain will change as you walk it. And He promises never to loosen His grace-grip on your life.

When Israel’s troops faced their enemies, the priest would address them before battle, saying: “Listen to me, all you men of Israel! Do not be afraid as you go out to fight your enemies today! Do not lose heart or panic or tremble before them. For the Lord your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and He will give you victory!” (Deuteronomy 20:3-4).

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: How would dwelling on God’s abiding presence change your stress levels?

PRAYER: Jesus, help me remember that, whether I “feel” it or not, You are always with me. Amen.
