I never have to feel alone.

You never have to feel alone.

When we are Christ-followers, God is with us – all of the time.

Amazing!

My gratitude to Jesus swells up in my heart as I read God’s words to Joshua in Deuteronomy 31.  While Moses was commissioning Joshua to be the new leader of Israel, he told Joshua over and over again that “the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you”,

“He will be with you”,

“He will neither fail you or abandon you.”

Do you need encouragement today?  I know I do.  This has been a very sad and tough time.  My son, David Glasser, was a Phoenix Police Officer who was murdered in the line of duty on May 18, 2016.  Last week another Phoenix Police officer was killed in the line of duty…..and it all comes back.  The shock, the pain, the grief, the hole left by my son’s death – it’s all highlighted again as we bury another police officer.  There are times when I don’t feel strong enough to face the future and figure out how to move forward.

I know God is speaking to me – and to you – today to encourage us just like he encouraged Joshua.

God is with me.

He will personally go ahead of me into the difficult hills and valleys of the journey I am on.

And he will never fail me or abandon me.

Wow – I needed that reminder!

Thank you, Abba Father.
