NO MATTER WHAT YOU FACE TODAY
Joshua 1:9
"Have I not commanded you, be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Jack was in his mid 70's when he came to hunt with us for elk and mule deer. His health and his heart weren't very good and we had to be careful to make sure he didn't overdo it.
We had Jack watching a waterhole in a good valley. One evening Dave picked him up after dark and he had shot a good mule deer buck and he had drug it down to the road. Jack didn't look good.
Dave quickly brought Jack to camp and the two of us went back to get the buck. We were arriving back to camp, we could see emergency vehicles backed up to the house. Jack had had a bad heart attack and was being transported to the nearest hospital. It was a terrible night in camp, not knowing what was happening. What we faced that day was a terrible feeling. A feeling I hope I never have to face again.
No matter what you are facing today, God promises to be with you all the way, through every second of what lies ahead. Whatever you face or whoever you come up against, HE goes before you. Nothing is beyond His sight.
Consider Jesus' words...
Matthew 6:26-30
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
There I nothing that you might face that God can't handle. Trust Him.
