PART 11 - AND NEVER ABANDONED!



 HAPPY MEMORIAL WEEKEND!

It is nice that the weather man was slightly off today.  It is much cooler and beautiful.  But we do need to pray for rain.

PART 11 - Psalm 16: 10 and 11
For you will not bandon me to Sheol (the place of the dead), neither will You suffer Your holy one (Holy One) to see corruption.  Psalm 16: 11 - You will show me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.  (Acts 2: 25-28 and 31)

There are hundreds of references to how our God tells us,  over and over,  how He will NOT abandon us.  That He will show us the path.  And, that we will experience a fullness of Joy from that knowledge.

On this Memorial Day when we reflect on how hundreds, thousands and ten thousands of men gave their lives for us;  let us take this whole thing in, embrace it, and live it.  The Knox family will be burying their son, father, brother, husband, friend who gave his life so we could be free.  I am sure they were moved when they learned the news.  It brought up a lot of questions, tears and where is God.  In this passage we are still to cling to that fact that no matter what happens to us God is there.  He says He doesn't abandon us, He says he has a path for us all, and that He will march ahead and with us.  Deut. 31: 8.  If we are to claim unmoved, if we are to claim no abandonment, if we are to claim His path, we must do what then?  TRUST!  His Word is to stand on.  His Word is to drive a flag into the ground for.
His Word is the truth, the inerrant truth forever.  All we have to do is collect ourselves, go before Him on our knees and wait.  The truth, the Way, the Life will suddenly rise before the Knox's, and ourselves.
No matter where we are today and no matter what we are doing - we will never be abandoned.

He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
John 14: 6
