Be Strong and Courageous: God Is Always With You
We’ve spent last week primarily talking about letting go and trusting God with his plan for us. So, I thought I would send us into the weekend with Joshua 1:9“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."”Joshua 1:9 When we go through hard times, it’s easy to feel that God has left us. But from what I’m reading, we can go with absolute knowledge that God is with us wherever we go. Just because times are hard doesn’t mean God is not at work. Our circumstances don’t define God. Therefore, we have no reason to be afraid, if the God who created Heaven and Earth is on our side, nothing can stop us. So let’s roll into the week with this simple thought, God is with me...always. I’m on vacation this week, so if my message happens to not be “exactly” on time…well, it means I’m getting some much needed rest. Treatments start back on the 18th. Be Nice. Grace wins. FMJ

Not by Might
I'm stubborn and bullheaded, and I forget to bring God into everything I do. With Him, all things are possible. Without Him, it's just hard work. Not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit.

God Karma
Job was good and still suffered without ever knowing why, yet God was still good. Good things don't always happen to good people, but we're invited to be His hands and feet even without answers.
