"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6.

This verse is from the end of Moses life, he was not very old and could not go much longer, since God told him that he would not cross the Jordan into Promised Land, but his people will. The person that would succeed him would be Joshua. This verse was from when Moses was telling the Israelites that they would cross the Jordan and enter the Promised Land. Moses tells of the many nations that they would encounter on the way to the Promised Land and that are in the Promised Land, but he ensured them not to worry. The nations may be big and mighty and might even out number them, but the Israelites have God on their side and with God on their side they can and will defeat anyway. It is the same for us. We will encounter some very big and scary monster, demons, and obstacles on our journey to the Promised Land. But the good news is that God is there helping guide us on that path. His word is the light to that path. God will never leave nor forsake us, he is there guiding us through every situation that is put in front of us. Another promise that we can live on is that God will never tempt us with more than we can handle (1 Cor. 10:13). That does not mean to test God, but take the tests that God gives us. He has already given us the answers to the final exam. He will help us through every situation, but we cannot do it alone. Look at what happened to the Israelites later on, they tried to battle an army, but God told them not to since he would not be with them. They did not listen and lost so many people. Then again later on, he told them that he would be with them and he helped them defeat a nation that was bigger and stronger than they were. God gives us the strength to defeat the biggest of armies. With him we can do anything, but without him we can nothing.

Lord, thank you for the strength you have given us to get through the day. Thank you for waking us all up this morning. Thank you for the continuous blessing of breath and life. Thank you for the strength to defeat our demons, get over obstacles, and come out on top. Without you we are nothing, we are mere mortals and cannot do anything on our own. With you we can do all things, that you give us strength to do.

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in your lives in him, rooted and built up in him strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:6-7. We have to be able to let our roots grow. Jesus taught us several times that we have to have a strong foundation (Mt. 7:24-27) and strong roots (Mt. 13:1-23). Jesus is not a one time thing, we cannot go “I believe He is my Lord and Savior” and just walk away. That is not what we are called to do. We are called to be disciples and to preach the Word of God. We are called to love everyone like Jesus did. Jesus did not care who you were or what your past was, he accepted everyone because we are all made in the image of God. We all are natural born sinners, but Jesus died in order for our sins to be forgiven. God’s arm is not too short to save anyone (Isa. 59:1), He has the ability to save everyone. There are people out there with roots, but they are short and weak. They c

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33. This world is a dark place, I said it before and this will not be the last time I put it in a devotional. It is, it was no God’s intentions when he created us and created this world that darkness will take over. But just like everything else God uses it for his advantage. He allows all the bad things that happen in this world and to us to show us his power. He uses it to bring us closer to him. He uses it to show he has something better for us not only not only on this earth, but in heaven. No matter what happens on this earth whether you are the richest person, whether you are the poorest person, if you are the happiest to the saddest, there is nothing compared to the treasures and everything we get in heaven. One of the things God did to show us that he is taking advantage of this dark world for his and our benefit was sending

Daily Devotional: 7/27/2018 - DIFFERENCE MAKER PT. II

"And he climbs on up the hill; On the rock on which he stands; He looks back at the crowd; And he looks down at his hands and he says; I am a difference maker." NEEDTOBREATHE - "Difference Maker" (Pre-Chorus) This is a "science fiction" short story based on my life. A story and mission of a difference maker. Yeah, isn't it amazing how a man can find himself alone? Call into the darkness for an answer that's he ever known; Yeah, isn't it amazing how a God can take a broken man; Yeah let him find a fortune, let him ruin it with his own two hands ? Leaves dance on the trees, fog rises from the distance mountains as the rain cooled the hot summer ground, the porch swing creaks. The wind whispers secrets in my ears. There are over seven billion people in the world and there is not one to be found, it is just my thoughts and me. I can do this all on my own, I do not need anyone. The more people there are the more problems there are f
