Deuteronomy 31:6; Psalm 46:1

Scripture Reading: Psalm 46:1-3 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.” (NIV)

God has come near to help

#2—Matthew 8:1-4—God is willing to help.

#3—Mark 9:14-29—God is able to help.

Additional Scriptures to Read:

Isaiah 41:10; Psalm 145:18; Hebrews 13:5; Matthew 28:20; Numbers 23:19; Malachi 3:6; 1 John 4:4.

On the podcast for this week, we talked about the falsehood of Jesus watching us from “a distance.”

He’s watching us, but He’s near to us. And He has come to help; He is willing to help; and He is able to help, no matter the need.

Here’s the list of Scriptures I read during the Podcast along with a couple of others that might be helpful to you in your walk with Jesus.

Matthew 28:20 “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

John 14:18 “I will not leave you as orphans;”

Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Hebrews 13:5 “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

James 4:8 “Come near to God and he will come near to you.”

Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you;”

Numbers 23:19 “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

Malachi 3:6 ““I the Lord do not change.”

1 John 3:8 “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.”

1 John 4:4 “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”

Feel free to download these Scriptures, write them out, keep them close, memorize them, and share them with a friend.

Blessings.

Four Things About These Disciples:

• They believed that Jesus of Nazareth was a prophet sent from God.
• They believed that His works validated His claim to be the Son of God.
• They believed Jesus had been crucified by the High Priests and rulers of the nation.
• They believed Jesus was the one who was going to redeem Israel.

Jesus came to them in their disappointment and confusion and He will do the same for you.
