Been here before? What on Earth are we here for? The Scriptures say, "we are called according to His purpose...."
The Children of Israel, so often missed God's purposes. God wanted to make them strong - strong in faith, strong in trust, strong in the Lord. However, when food and water began to run low, they didn't feel strong; they felt weaker.
They missed God's purpose - He wanted to strengthen them, and provide for all of their needs. But they often doubted, or grumbled and complained. God's ways were higher than their ways.
So...while we're here...let's...
DRAW NEAR TO THE LORD.
The Lord Himself is our strength. Drawing near to Him insures that His strength will dwell in us, because His presence will be near. We are told to "seek the Lord, and His strength." (Psalm 105:4).
...and...
BE OF GOOD COURAGE.
The Word says, "Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart." (Ps.27:14). To draw near to God we must have courage and faith.
...as well as...
THE WORD OF GOD
Strengthens your faith, and builds you up. The Word of God can be relied upon, with confidence. "Strengthen me, according to Thy Word." (Psalm 119:28 NASB).
We're here for Him...He will "always" be there for us.
See Ya' Tonight
