Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age (Matthew 28:19-20).
God’s got you! -Be encouraged as you begin this new month that God is with you, you are not alone. He is with you to direct your path, give you counsel and also direct you in wisdom. In times of solitude or loss, God promises to never leave you comfortless but yet to provide the Comforter, the Holy Spirit to be in fellowship with you. God is our defense and ultimate protection. He is our shield, the lifter of our heads and healer. Jesus Himself assures us that He will not let any of His sheep get lost. The Lord is our shepherd.
I encourage you to continue to pursue your dreams, dream big. God designed you in His image, He does things in magnanimous ways, so dream big. Pursue greater things, take calculated risks, venture out, embrace change, and stay flexible to what God wants to do with and for you. God’s gotcha!
If you slip or have slipped, get up, the righteous fall but rise up again. Proverbs 24:16. Repent and move on for now there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. As far I am concerned, God does not remember your sins, you are free. Move on God’s grace is sufficient for you. Fear not, only be strong!
This same God, has provided a way out of escape from every temptation. He has equipped you with every good gift to accomplish your destiny. In weakness, He makes you strong. Since He is with you, He has straightened your paths, making them clear and straight. He has flattened the mountains, raised the valleys and filled them. With Him, you are renewed with new strength like an eagle and filled with new wine and new oil!
This week, Jesus calls you friend, a co-heir, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood reigning in life with Him. This is your new identity in Christ. Doing all things in Him. In Him you glory that He may be glorified. This week move on, press on, dream big, pursue. The Commander of the armies of the Lord is with you. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him (2 Chronicles 16:9)
