Be encouraged for the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go. I love those words. I meditated on them and several other scriptures that spoke of God’s promises while going through the entire cancer experience. I knew then as I know now that the only way I would have victory against cancer was through God’s mercy which scripture records is new every morning. That is another amazing promise.
Our walk with Christ can be difficult for many reasons. One of which is not understanding what we are asking for and committing to. I worry that myself in the past and many today look at God as some type of santa claus who gives us what we want or what we perceive will make us happy. We don’t concern ourselves with what makes God happy because it is all about us. We in essence use His love or what we see as His love. This type of narcissitic attitude does not carry us to the narrow gate but keeps us on the broad path. If you don’t know God, get to know Him. Desire to please Him. Surrender to Him. Don’t choose to follow Him when times are great in your life and flee Him when things turn bad and you lose “all faith.” My argument would be that you never had true faith to begin with.
