“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I AM with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
“God said to Moses, ‘I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites; ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ God made Himself known as the Eternally Present One. Not a God who was AT the burning bush giving the instructions. Not a God who WILL BE AT the final destination in the promised land. But a God who IS, at all times, operating in the present tense of life, and to be counted on as being sufficient and available.”*
What a true and profound paradigm shift this was. A God who was with His people in ways unimaginable! He is here now with you as you read this and consider how trustworthy He is...yes, even with THAT problem. He is more than sufficient...just hand it over to Him...go on, you can do it...
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
