Praise & Worship – Jesus will never Fail – The Remnant – 9th August 2019

Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance.”

Deut. 31:7 The Lord has charged us with great promises and mighty goals to achieve, for His Name’s sake. The journey to the promise can be weary with the chance of victory looking bleak on most days. The circumstances often seem unfavourable, the people around are always exhausting, there appear roadblocks at every turn, and criticism falls like rain from every side. Can anything good ever come out of us?

Remind yourself this – God Who has called us will see the task to completion. His promises are good – don’t doubt it, they still stand – He is not a liar, they are not a mistake – trust Him, He has shown us His faithfulness before – He will not change, He will do it again and again in our lives. He showcases His glory in us, He wants to make a show of His children to the world, a distinction from the children of the world. Your promises are magnanimous because our God can only make plans according to His standard. He is raising us up to His standard, so stand firm.

“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.”

Deut. 31:7 None of this is on our own. His Spirit is the Friend that will never leave us nor forsake us. Stand steady, the Artist is holding you and perfecting you in His Hands, while He fulfils His plans. Stand firm in the faith.
