DEVOTIONAL: Deuteronomy 31:6

DEVOTIONAL: Deuteronomy 31:6 - "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord Your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."

Simple things like getting home safely from work or school are all the works of God's hand and yet so often we take it for-granted. The Word promises that God will never leave our side and because of this we are called to move through life without the burden of fear - how liberating! Go into this day knowing that God's got you. He will fight your enemies for you. You are already victorious because of Him.  Amen,

The internet describes playdates as an arranged agreement for children to meet and play - ah huh that's  what those Tuesday's and Friday's were, sans the actual term! Let...
