“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
(Isaiah 41:10 ESV)
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
(Joshua 1:9 ESV)
I was on my way home from church yesterday when the song, “Never” by Tasha Layton came on. Here is the chorus:
“Never forgotten
(Never by Tasha Layton)
Never forsaken
Never abandoned
Not for a second
I am safe in your hands
Always and forever
You’re never not working
My heart is the proof
There’s not a broken too broken for You
Will there ever come a day when You’re not holding me together?
You say “never.”
As I was listening to the song, I was wondering why God would say never to someone. Then it really hit me. God says never all the time. “I will never leave you or forsake you.”
God never breaks His promises. He never goes back on His word. He never abandons us. Every time we go through issues, He says His answer is never. “You remind me that Your answer is always ‘never…’”
So no matter what is going on in your life, God says never will I…(fill in the blank for your situation). God will never give us on either. So don’t you go giving up on Him.
Have a great day, everyone.
