You are not on your own. God has said, “I will be with you.”
He said it to Moses at the burning bush.
Exodus 3:11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” 12 And God said, “I will be with you.”
He said it to Joshua after Moses died.
Joshua 1:5 “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
He said it to His disciples before the crucifixion.
John 14:15 “If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
He said it his church in the great commission.
Matthew 28:18 “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
God is with us. We have not been left to our own devices. We are not called to make decisions with only our own wisdom. We do not rely on our own resources. We do not take confidence in our ability.
God is with us. We commit ourselves to the Lord’s plan and mission. We open our hearts and minds to our Father’s wisdom. We trust in the Creator’s resources. We find strength in the Almighty God.
In your prayer time today…
· Spend some time recognizing who God is—We call this Praise or Adoration
· Spend some time recognizing what God has done – We call this Thanksgiving
This is important because it reminds us the Lord is present and active in our lives and in this world.
We have set aside Wednesdays (particularly at noon) as a time of focused prayer for our church community. Please join as we seek the Lord’s wisdom and guidance for the future of Plymouth Park Church of Christ.
