With Jesus

Never go anywhere or do anything without God. Seek first, seek first the LORD, His Kingdom and His righteousness. And walk with Him. Ask the LORD’s direction; ask the LORD’s way. And do what He says. Ask to come with him in what He is doing and where He is going --- not the other way around. Be in His will; always be in His will. We are told by God to listen to Jesus. What could ever be more important? Is there anything that requires or deserves our attention and devotion more than Christ? Do not stay only inside yourself. Ask and seek and knock. Receive and find and let the door be opened unto you. Fight the fight and run the race and keep the faith. Be in the presence of God. Keep pace. Draw near. Taste and see that the LORD is good. In all your ways, in everything, acknowledge Him; and let Him direct your paths. See it; feel it; know it. And know His will in your life. Know His power in your life. Know His love in your life. Pray about everything and worry about nothing. Cast all your cares on Him. He cares about you. He cares about you. He knows the purpose and plans He has for you --- plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. You are His child; you are His people. Stand and bow and live in His presence. Trust and follow and obey. Now and always and always. Let Him take great delight in you and quiet you with His love and rejoice over you with singing.

Then Moses said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that You are pleased with me and with Your people unless You go with us? What else will distinguish me and Your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” And the LORD said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”    --- Exodus 33:15-17

When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished, and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.   --- Acts 4:13
