How often do you need to hear that God has your back?
Why do you worry?
Why are you afraid?
He is God the almighty.
He has helped you before and you know he will always fulfill his promises.
So, what is your problem?

Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel: I will help thee, saith the Lord, and they Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41 verse 14
Stop the fear before it invades your thoughts.
Squelch the doubt before it consumes you.
Dismiss the gloom that clouds the senses.
Lift up the fallen spirit.
Straighten the knees that knock in fright.
Look to the Lord who can never lie.
“I will help you,” God promised.
God is our Champion
Yet To Be #273
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked when it comes. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. Proverbs 3 verse 25
Unexpected danger can rise up against us at any time.
We are not immune to the darkness or the violence that surrounds every nation on this earth nor even to the dangers outside our window.
But as a child of the true and living God, we have security in his care.
Confident that his word is true.
He will never leave us.
He will always take care of us.
He is our protector.
Our Champion.
Our Saviour and shield.
He knows the right way to take, all we have to do is follow and not be afraid.
Therefore will not we fear…
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Psalm 46 verse 2.
be not afraid of him…
When God has a plan for you, nothing can stop it from coming to pass.
Sometimes to get to your expected end you need to confront unsurpassable things.
Fear not, God will provide all that you need to conquer that problem and to see you through.
What is for you, you will have.
And the angel of the Lord said unto Elijah, Go down with him be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the King. 2 Kings 1:15
Be strong and of good courage
The battle is the Lord’s.
He will fight for you, and nothing shall stay His hand.
And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom you fight. Joshua 10 verse 25.
What God promises, He fulfills.
What God promises, He fulfills.
When God gives you a gift, take that gift with both hands, and give thanks.
What He does, He does forever.
No one can take it away from you.
It is yours for all time.
God wills it, so it shall be.
Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee; go up possess it, as the Lord god of thy fathers hath said unto thee, fear not, neither be discouraged. Deuteronomy 1:21
Great is our Lord and mighty in power, his understanding has no limit.
Does God need our help?
Who are we to think that the God of this universe, the Creator requires assistance?
We live in the presence of a holy God, and we can say like the prophet Isaiah, “Woe, is me for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell among a people of unclean lips.”
What could we bring as a tribute but hate, envy, war, and strife? We live in the world, a place that cries out in pain because of our sins. We have made a mess of this world with our insatiable quest for more beyond enough.
This mess belongs to us, and yet with these same dirty hands we believe we can lend them to help God along His course.
Thou fool, God is in control and needs no help from us. He is God.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55: 8-9
The Lord of hosts has sworn: As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand. Isaiah 14:24
Lo, these are parts of his ways; but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? Job 26:14
Work for him by spreading the good news of salvation.
Being good and fair to others is a virtue that is dying a slow death. Soon we will be living in a world where instant gratification becomes the prize to success. There will be only one winner and everyone else, losers. A world where there are no half measures, only all or nothing, and love will be a passing emotion if used correctly may result in selfish benefits.
These are the end of days.
Times are coming when there will be wars and rumors of wars. When brother shall rise against brother, families will be torn apart, there will be constant chaos in the streets, and life as we know it will cease to be.
Rejoice. Now is not that time.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are still here on this earth, and the Son of Man has not yet returned. We are to work while it is still day because the night comes when no one can work. Work for Him by spreading the Good News of Salvation.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10
also take time to remember the warrior wo talked to the Lord on your behalf.
Gratitude is a delicate state of mind. “A quality of being thankful, ready to show appreciation and to return kindness.”
A need for prayer is requested.
Words to the Lord ascend in compassion and love.
An answer is given and received time passes, and the waiting continues.
Where is the attitude of gratitude?
Where are the words of kindness?
Where is the giving of thanks?
Always give thanks to the Lord for His goodness.
But also take time to remember the warrior who talked to the Lord on your behalf.
Let us weep, sit, commiserate, and rejoice together, lest we forget to be grateful to those who pray for our needs.
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God save this stranger. Luke 17: 17 and 18
