Because things are hard, is the Lord still with us?

Should we feel the life living for Him should be some kind of “easy peasy” no problems kind of life?

It’s actually easy to feel that way especially when you are not used to living a life that is completely surrendered to Christ.

It used to be so easy here in the United States of America to do pretty much nothing to God’s Will.

But here in the bible there were people who not only were following God’s Will by going wherever He would lead but were unsure emotionally about how to go about things.

In Deuteronomy a person explaining this verse seemed a little confusing to me.

In Deut. 31:6 they said some things about the verse I felt strongly against. But at the end was talking about in the end the people in this verse (Moses and the people after spending 40 years in the desert) how they should focus on God. That the Lord is with them and will not leave or forsake them.

Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV

That there is a lot of things that will be tough and yet not to fear and be afraid of others through situations but to live for God and not reject His ways.

I’m amazed by God’s Word. I have read very little over the years so jumping into verses and finding context has become like an adventure for me!

I almost feel like people in the bible experiencing new things in their respective stories. I hope that will become exciting for you reader. To read the bible has become a wonderful choice lately, I hope that you will want to go on your own adventure reading as well.

I have been wanting to write “bible guides” for a while if you are interested in doing so.

Maybe this will be like a little nudge to wanting to know more about what He wants for your life and to live closer to His ways.

Know that spending even a moment in His word is huge to God. It is amazing to see what changes He makes in your life if you spend it as time with Him.

I hope dear reader that you won’t be like I once was, so disobedient that almost nothing had mattered to me, and want to see the purpose of your life.

If you follow God you will see just how impactful it is to live for Him through Jesus Christ. Amen.

A Quick Devotion- 6/23/21

Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV

Paul was very dedicated to what he believed in before and after He found out who Christ was. When he took some words out of context he was literally killing believers! How sad. So many were perishing while Paul (then actual name: “Saul”) was thinking doing so was in “God’s Will.”

Have any of us ever did something not in God’s Will but we thought it was right? I’m sure many have.

In fact I believe with all my heart there are people today with Saul’s “hopeful” purpose. Ones should hopefully realize though that there is love that might not be where they believe now.

There is hope. There is a love. And it must not be taken out of context.

Ones who are in love and hope of one who is greater than themselves should not be discouraged even though in these current times it may be tough. We must forget our past (though not repeat it), we must reach forward to our goals either for the Lord or for our hopes for wanting to live a better life. We must press on like a runner, though it might seem tough if all you think of are your current understandings and what you see right now in “front of” you.

Don’t lose heart, my friends. Press on toward the goal because His love and giving (or our “outgiving” God which is impossible) will help the cause but we must respond first to the call of Christ Jesus.
