Genesis 28:15

When God called Jacob out of Canaan, He did so with a great promise. No matter what God would always be there, never leaving or forsaking Jacob. When God puts a dream in our hearts or a calling to step out in faith, it can be scary. Because when things don’t happen when or how we like, discouragement and self pity can set in. We can start to question God and give in to fear. But we must remember that whether we feel Him or not, God is always there. And when we put faith over fear, we can have peace. Because whatever plan God has, He will see us through from start to finish. Psalm 122:3 reminds us that our Father never slumbers, always keeping His watchful eye on us day and night. No matter what God commands us to do we can have joy and confidence knowing He has a plan for each of us. And when we put our faith in Him, the Lord with us step by step along the way!

September 30th – Judges 5:7

Judges 5:7

Deborah is a beautiful example of a woman whose faith in God shined as a light to Israel. She loved the Lord and served Him faithfully. When others faltered, Deborah courageously obeyed God and insisted that His will, not hers be done. And because she followed God’s direction, the armies of Canaan were defeated and their king destroyed. The Lord rewarded Deborah by giving her the honor for the Israelites win. Even better, because of her service to the Lord, “the land was undisturbed for forty years.” (v. 5:31) And after the victory instead of patting herself on the back, Deborah sang a song giving God all the glory. No matter who we are, male or female, great or small, when we are open and willing to be used by God, great things can be accomplished in His name and for His glory!
