So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)its easier to be strong when you aren't alone. it's usually in the moments of quiet, when i find myself with my thoughts as companions, that i have the hardest time seeing the bright spots. when i surround myself with those who love me, i feel stronger, braver.
i love the image this verse makes, god with a machete, cutting a swath in the jungle, going before me to ensure that there aren't any tigers lurking around. it's something that i am going to keep in my mind when i am facing an especially difficult patch of wilderness. god's cutting a swath, he'll make sure i make it through the spooky bits safely.
