Favorites

Grace recently asked me what my favorite Bible verse is. As I get older, I seem to have more "favorites". There are several that stand out in my mind. The one that I shared with her has been one that the Lord uses to encourage me a lot.

In Deuteronomy 31: 7& 8, Moses is addressing Joshua in front of all Israel. (vs 8 is my "fav)

"And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."

Lately, as I looked at these verses again...I was encouraged in a new way! May you dig into His Word- even those "favorite" verses that you know by heart- and claim them as direct promises from our Savior!

Praise the Lord today for His Word, which is alive and does not return void!
