Yesternight we were at a joint lifegroup (Humility and Passion). It was a night of praise and worship, to conclude this month's intimacy with God series.
I cried with honest prayers when I felt I had the need to tell Him what I really feel. I was like a child telling my Father what happened. I prayed for a humble and teachable heart. I surrendered all other fears.
Today marks our one year in Dubai and yesterday was a manifestation of God's weaving of lives into His plans. I said, during the first three months, I couldn't figure out what was happening til the picture went all clear.
I was meditating on Joshua in the pursuit of the land God is giving them. God commanded Joshua to be strong and courageous, to not fear nor discouraged. God orders Him to take stand. The promise wasn't He will give strength or courage, the promise is that He will be with him wherever he goes.
The promise that God will be with us should be more than enough for us to take our stand in having courage. Romans 8 talks about the life through the spirit and that we should live according to the Spirit and not of flesh. In 31, it says, ..'if God is for us, who can be against us?'. To this, the promise that He is for us should give us strength to go on. The command is to be strong and courageous, the promise is that He will be with us.
