Only Let Me Walk With Thee!
Exodus 23
Kjv
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Exodus 13
KJV
21+ And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
That when God sends He provides is a common trait that runs through the scriptures! He provides whatever is required to anyone He sends as to accomplish His assignments!
When He called Noah, He gave him the guidelines to build the Ark that was to save mankind
When Hw called Abraham, He signed “a contract” with Him that was to result in the establishment of a nation, Israel out of which the Messiah was to come.
When He called Nehemiah, He touched the King, Artaxerxes’ heart to fund the rebuilding of the Walls of Jerusalem from the Consolidated Fund!
In many and in diverse ways He provided guidance, direction and protection to all and sundry that He called and chose; in the same way, He has guided and provided us support and sustenance through the year
Today, here we stand at the threshold of crossing the “ Jordan “ to enter the promised year 2026! As we stand at the banks and cast our wishful eyes across the horizon, may we all prepare both spiritually and physically to cross over.
May we examine and make amends to anything that may hinder us from crossing over. Joshua told Israel to perform a similar exercise ;
Joshua 1:10-11
NIV
[10] So Joshua ordered the officers of the people:
[11] “Go through the camp and tell the people, 'Get your provisions ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.' ”
Beloved, “ put your house in order “for in a few days we shall cross over. !
The times call for a pause to reflect.
The times call for preparation, pause to prepare a road map for 2026,
The times call for correction, pause to identify mistakes, errors, wrongs and act to correct them.
The times call for praise and thanksgiving both spiritual and physical, give to “Caesar” ( all who have helped you one way or the other ) his praise and thanksgiving! Then do the same to Jehovah!
Trust His promise
“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.”
And trust in His ever presence with you ;
“ And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:”
Yes, Lord let your fiery, cloudy pillar lead me all the remaining days of my life!
A thought to share!
