Years ago – the day I got saved, the Lord spoke to my heart and said: “I will never leave you, nor forsake you – you are mine and I AM yours–forever”
He made a promise to me that day and I have never forgotten it This past week-end, on Sunday evening,, my sister read a daily promise word to me from her devotional that was posted on my Birth Date. As she read it, I began shouting and praising the Lord for He was touching me again reminding me again with that Word – This is what she read to me:
I have promised to never leave nor forsake you, my child. That includes when I call you into battle. I am a trustworthy leader. I don’t give my recruits an assignment and then stand by and watch them fail. I painstakingly prepare my soldiers for every fight. Victory is assured when you put your confidence in me as your Commander-in-Chief. My servant Deborah told Barak that I was going ahead of him to give my people success. She did not focus on the enemy’s numbers or their might; she knew they were no obstacle for me. Her faith gave Barak courage. So quiet your fearful heart, dear one. I have not lost sight of you. In fact, I have gone before you, I know all the strategies of the enemy and will teach you how to defeat every scheme. I won’t leave you to fight on your own. You and I together–we’re invincible.
We must always take our focus off the battle and put it on the LORD.
