Devotional 5

You sometimes think you have to plan every detail about future events because you think you’re in control of your destiny. However, I’m the only One completely in control. I go before you and am always with you. I go days, months, years before you, planning and orchestrating the events that will unfold in your life. I orchestrate these things with loving care, already knowing how I’ll use each event to grow and shape you. Submit to My care and fully know that I got you. Just like a parent lovingly cares for their child, so do I lovingly care for you. I am your Shepherd; you are My sheep. No thing and no one could ever hurt you without going past Me, the Almighty God of the Universe, first. Nothing can ever separate you from My loving care. Let go and fall back into My loving arms…I got you.

“The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8

“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fear for today nor our worries about tomorrow – not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below- indeed nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39
