Episode 405
Trust God’s Promise
“Our God will never forsake us. He has a hedge of protection surrounding us, always walking with us and filling the gaps inside us.”- Wesleyne
Word of the Day:
"No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you."-Joshua 1:5
Summary
In this episode, we explore the profound assurance that God will never leave us or forsake us, as emphasized in both Joshua 1:5 and Hebrews 13:5.
This promise signifies that no matter our actions or circumstances, God's presence remains constant.
Forsaking ourselves through self-condemnation is not a reflection of God’s stance towards us.
He is always present to support, guide, and celebrate with us, despite our flaws and struggles.
Understanding this truth helps us distinguish between God's voice and the enemy’s lies, reinforcing that our worth and relationship with God are secure.
