hello Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
Bible in a Year:
As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
In Joshua 1, we read of the transition of leadership to Joshua after Moses died. The command to be strong and courageous was repeated several times to Joshua and the Israelites to emphasize its importance (vv. 67, 9). Surely, they felt trepidation as they faced an uncertain future, but God reassuringly said, As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you (v. 5).
Its natural to have fears, but its detrimental to our physical and spiritual health to live in a state of constant fear. Just as God encouraged His servants of old, we too can be strong and courageous because of the One who promises to always be with us.
Reflect & Pray
What are your deepest and most persistent fears? How can meditating on Gods promises help you overcome your fear and anxiety?
Faithful Father, thank You that Youre always with me. Help me to remember Your promises and to trust in You when Im afraid.
How's everyone doing this morning?
