Matthew 28:20
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with
you always, to the end of the age.
Try to
stay conscious of Me as you go step by step through this day. My Presence with
you is both a promise and a protection. My final statement just before I
ascended into heaven was: Surely I am with you always. That promise
was for all of My followers, without exception.
The promise of My Presence is a powerful protection.
As you journey through your life, there are numerous pitfalls along the way.
Many voices clamor for your attention, enticing you to go their way. A few
steps away from your true path are pits of self-pity and despair, plateaus of
pride and self-will. If you take your eyes off Me and follow another's way, you
are in grave danger. Even well-meaning friends can lead astray if you let them
usurp My place in your life. The way to stay on the path of Life is to keep
your focus on Me. Awareness of My Presence is your best protection.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us
also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run
with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the
founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the
throne of God.
