Never Alone

Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. – Joshua 1:9

I am in a period of transition right now. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the enormity of the decision I have had to make in order to follow my dreams and make my life count for something. Don’t get me wrong – I have achieved some level of success in my personal and professional life but I have also had my own share of disappointments. But I have been plagued by this nagging feeling that God has a lot more for me to do so hence a big change had to me made. The planning and preparations that needed to be made often left me frustrated and discouraged. On some days, I wanted to give it all up and stay in my comfort zone. I wanted to get another day job, pay my bills and mind my own business.

One night as I lay down and was talking to God about my transition, he put all my fears to rest. He reminded me that I am called; designed for a purpose. He reminded me about Joshua 1:9. He told me never to be afraid and not to be discouraged and give up, regardless of the obstacles that come my way. He promised to be with me through it all; never to leave me or forsake me. These promises I will hold onto for the next six to eighteen months. I am confident that I am going to need them.
