Never Leave Home Without Him

There are a series of commercials from American Express that made this phrase famous: "Never leave home without it." It is soceity's way of making you believe that your credit card will save you from all and every unexpected event.

I'm here to tell you all you need is God. Never leave home without HIM.
1. God will encamp around you, to protect you.

Psalm 34:7 (New International Version)
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

2. He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

3. He is the lamp before your feet.
Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

4. He will take your cares away.
Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.

5. He will heal your diseases.
Isaiah 53:5
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.


Why would anyone leave home without HIM?

We live in an age where there are many things competing for our time. There are many things we believe we SHOULD do. The only thing we should never forget to do is to put God on. The Armor of God is everything we need. (Ephesians 6:11
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.)

Are you desperately looking for something, but you don't know what? Look above, our help comes from the hills.
Psalm 121:1-3
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;)

Call out to God because He will answer you.

Here is a video of the song Breathe by Michael W. Smith. Be a vessel. Let God use you to touch other people's lives. Be desperate for him today...

    My 4 year old daughter came up to the computer while I was listening to this video. She wanted to put the headphones on. She listened to the music and watched the video and I used it to have a little conversation with her about God and Jesus. :)

    I really could use a Word from the Lord today and every day!

    Some days I tell my kids, "Don't forget to pack your Jesus!"

    I really shoul remind them every day, so they'll invite Jesus into their life every moment they're gone.
