“Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
We all need to start each day with calm trust in the Lord, that He is at work in the midst of everything.
George Mueller used to say, “It is my first business every morning to make sure that my heart is happy in God.” He is right! It is our personal business every morning to make up our mind from the heart that there is nothing bigger than Him. We can trust that He knows the details even when we don’t, and all we have to know is Him.
Anne Ortlund wrote a little series of reminders in her notebook that she would read each day, “The light of God surrounds me. The love of God enfolds me. The power of God protects me. The presence of God watches over me. Wherever I am, God is.”
This is where our daily walk must begin and continue.
The children of Israel had to learn and live this, and we have the same task.
Like the song says, “God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!!!!!!!!!”
