“For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.” Joshua 1:5
Another year is coming to a close and as I sit here and reflect on this past year there have been so many changes. Some good, some not so good, some needed, and some that I never would have expected.
I don’t know what this past year was like for you. But I do know that no matter what it was like, good, bad, exciting, hard, smooth, etc. God was with you and me every step, every day, every second, and every minute of every day.
He held our hands, He wiped our tears, He whispered words of love. He caught our hearts when they shattered and He laid next to us when we couldn’t get up.
He braced us for the news, and encouraged us through His Word. He held us until we fell asleep, reassured us when we worried, and reminded us, He was near when we feared the worst and the worst it was.
He promised healing, maybe not in the way we hoped, but in the way He knew was best. For some He called home, and for others He needed to keep here just a little while longer.
He taught us, disciplined us, and strengthened us. He spoke to us and for us. He challenged us and called us. He even sat back and watched us.
Never once in the 365 days of 2011 did He leave us, fail us, or forsake us.
He was, is, and will always be, our God, our Lover, our Savior, our Protector, our Redeemer, our Healer, our Friend, our Comforter, our Teacher, our Leader, our Source of Life, our Breath of Life, our Daily Bread, our Hope, our Future, our E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!
Jesus You are our rock and our redeemer. You keep watch over all things, You control all things, and You love all things. We can never escape Your love or Your presence and for that we praise You, thank You, and fall down in worship because of You. Thank You Jesus, Amen
