His Unseen Victories


[Father God speaking] “’Now gird up your loins, and arise, and speak to them all which I command you.  Do not be dismayed before them, lest I dismay you before them.  Now behold, I have made you today as a fortified city, and as a pillar of iron and as walls of bronze against the whole land to the kings of Judah, to its princes, to its priests and to the people of the land.  And they will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you.’ Declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 1:17-19

The promises that God has made to His people in the Bible are there to remind us we are not alone in our daily wanderings and our daily challenging.  There are always His victories that He will be working all around us.  Sometimes we get to see what they are and other times we are oblivious to them.  But know He is always working where His children are!

“’Only be strong and very courageous, be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go.  

“’This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.  Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous!  Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.’” Joshua 1:7-9

Take care with love, especially His!  Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
