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

Non-Anxious Presence
Non-anxious presence means staying peaceful when everyone else is losing it. Jesus slept through a storm and fed thousands unbothered. That's the peace worth chasing, the kind that comes from Him.

Be Still and Know
Be still and know that I am God. Even the word Selah in this psalm is a call to pause. Stop trying to figure everything out on your own. He is our refuge and our strength.

Before I Knew It
We may never see the results of the seeds we plant, but that doesn't mean they don't matter. Faith the size of a mustard seed moves mountains. Commit your work to the Lord and trust the process.
