Fear not for I am with you

I thought I'd share this David Jerimiah devotional with you. It's a cute story with a built in truth about our children's innocence and our adult fears.


Thank Goodness for Protection

Fear not, for I am with you.
Isaiah 43:5

Last summer, a Canadian family celebrated their son's third birthday with a camping trip to a popular park in British Columbia. One day during their stay, the boy's parents thought he was playing with other children. When they realized he was missing, a frantic search ensued. According to the subsequent report of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the boy had ridden his toy truck into a swiftly-flowing river. The river swept the boy, still on the truck, downstream for nearly eight miles. It was a two-hour trip; and the boy, when he was discovered, seemed to have enjoyed himself. He rode his truck down the river like a raft. "He was very excited," said an officer.

Isaiah 43:2 says, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you." The Lord watches over us, even when we don't fully understand the perilous nature of our condition. Thank goodness for His daily protection!

Though come what may from day to day, my Heavenly Father watches over me.

Tested Faith

"Our faith is not really tested until God asks us to bear what seems unbearable, do what seems unreasonable, and expect what seems impossible." Warren Wiersbe 1. Bear what seems unbearable- We will all reach a point in life where a loss or a fear seems like too much to take on our own. Psalm 68:19 "Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens." 2Corinthians 12:9 "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." 2. Do wha...

"Opportunity" by Berton Bradley

After raising three boys I find I'm always telling , not just them , but there friends too,how great it "used to be ". My parents always did the same as they spoke about the "good old days" . Now, I knew my parents "good old days" consisted of the great depression and a world war that saw 50.000.000 people die . Imagine that. Let that sink in awhile. These were the "good old days". Maybe the " good old days" were good ,because, the good Lord gives us "days "at all. And the sweet,sweet people around us are among the greatest gifts of all His creation. My parents pictures of "the good old days" always consisted of lots of people, in a very small room. Anyway,I get caught up in thinking about the past . This is not good for the next generation ,who have there whole lives stretched out before them. When I was young and in despair my mother shared this book of poems with me .It was at a time, like today ,wh...
