Navigating Divine Distance with Faith and Encouragement
Have you ever experienced the feeling of God being far away? Maybe you're going through that season right now, or perhaps you know someone who is struggling with a spiritual dryness. The truth is, we all go through times when prayer feels futile, worship seems empty, and we wonder if God has forgotten us. But I have some exciting news to share with you.
But first, let me tell you a quick story. I had the opportunity to travel to Jordan with my son and his young family. We stood on the top of Mt Nebo, where God had told Moses that he would see the Promised Land but would not enter it. As I stood there with my son, Joshua, I thought of the words that Moses said to his Joshua just before climbing Mt Nebo:
Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:7-8
And there’s the exciting news: He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged! And that’s our theme verse for this month’s Box, Deuteronomy 31:8. With that said, let’s look at this month’s Blessings:
