Friday What a Friday

Lord-

I was reading your Word over the last week or so and here are a few verses that really stuck out to me:

Jeremiah 29:11 -- [a promise] -- "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"

This is always one to hang onto as we are nearing the end or having to think about the ending of chapters in our life.

John 14:26 -- "But the Counselor [Holy Spirit], whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."

When we are bearing witness with words to other people I always keep this verse in mind because God is the one who give the words. This was true with Moses and Aaron, and it is true today. The Holy Spirit will speak to our hearts about what to say.

Deuteronomy 31:8 -- "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

Sometimes when I am nervous with being somewhere new or with new people, I think about this verse and how the Lord goes before and all we have to do is retrace his steps and watch for him working in front of us.

Genesis 28:15 -- "I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."

God is faithful to his promises. He is perfect, therefore his promises will always be kept. When we see promises in scripture he keeps them.

Thank you Lord for your faithfulness to us. Please guide my weekend as I work with kids, and make the experience a sweet sound to your ear.

In your name,

Amen
