GOD IS WITH US – IMMANUEL
Deuteronomy 31:23
Then Moses commanded Joshua the son of Nun and said, “Be valiant and strong; for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land the Lord swore to them; and He shall be with you.”
Encouraging Words
Some may ask what this Old Testament verse has to do with us today. Everything! Moses sent Joshua into the promised land to claim it, occupy it, and help it to grow for God. The imagery of this applies to all of us who are followers of Christ. We are encouraged to be valiant and strong as we conquer the sinful desires of our hearts and go into the promised land of eternity that God has set aside for us. Jesus promised to be with us every moment of our walk with Him. He is Immanuel, which translated means God with us. It is not about militantly conquering others. It is about fighting our internal spiritual battles to become more righteous and more in the image of Christ…our theosis. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
