Ready to Move

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you"- Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV).

Another terrorist attack. The increase in deadly events could cause people to become frightened, depressed, even paranoid. God has called children of the Light to be strong and courageous; not frightened and dismayed (Joshua 1:9). The devil would love for Christian soldiers to become hand wringers, cowering back into the shadows to hide from possible dangers, dishonoring God and useless in the battle. Would you want to join the army that was moving forward screaming battle cries or the army scattered among the ruins whimpering with their faces covered? If you have fallen back into those ranks, ready to accept defeat, lift up your dropping hands, strengthen your weak knees. Get up. God, our Mighty Warrior, is on the move (Hebrews 12:12). Look to God; He is in control and He is with us. He has sworn: "Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen" (Isaiah 14:24). Be ready to move.
