"CLAIMING THE HIGH C'S"
PART IV
THE EARLY VOYAGE
And we know that all things work together for good
to them that love God,
to them that are called according to His purpose.
... In all these things
we are more than conquerors
through Him that loved us
(Romans 8:28 and 37, KJV.)

Life-lines:
For the preservation of the seamen;
they are tied or hitched to the topsail lift and masthead.

 Here's collaboration:
Jesus said...
Never will I leave you.
Never will I forsake you.

DIVINE COLLABORATION
|
Yes, for many people it's easy to feel overwhelmed and put down. When things get tough and you feel alone, it can be just too much of a burden to even step forward. Sometimes treading water is the very best a person can do... just waiting and hoping someone, anyone, will come to the rescue.
Having a kind friend or loved one support you can make life bearable. And by adding God's presence and power it becomes possible to do something because hope is restored.
Here is a promise that God is just waiting for you to claim. You can do...
...exceeding abundantly above all
that (you) ask or think
according to the power that worketh in (you).
(Ephesians 3:20, KJV.)
This is the promise of divine collaboration. We are not alone; there is ALWAYS help available.
This is eternal collaboration:
Never will I leave you
Never will I forsake you.
(Hebrews 13:5b, NIV.)
The amplified Bible adds these words to this same Scripture:
I will not in any way fail you
nor give up nor leave you without support.
I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you
helpless, nor forsake nor let you down
relax My hold on you.
Assuredly not!
This is powerful collaboration.
I will not, I will not, I will not...
Leave you helpless...
God of the universe, the Creator of all things, has said (and promises you) that He will always be with you. He is the life line. This is awesome!
