TRY TO STAY CONSCIOUS OF ME as you go step by step through
this day. My Presence with you is both a promise and a protection. My
final statement just before I ascended into heaven was: Surely I am
with you always. That promise was for all of My followers, without
exception.
The promise of My Presence is a powerful protection. As you journey
through your life, there are numerous pitfalls along the way. Many
voices clamor for your attention, enticing you to go their way. A few
steps away from your true path are pits of self-pity and despair,
plateaus of pride and self-will. If you take your eyes off Me and follow
another’s way, you are in grave danger. Even well-meaning friends can
lead you astray if you let them usurp My place in your life. The way to
stay on the path of Life is to keep your focus on Me. Awareness of My
Presence is your best protection.
“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” MAT THEW 28 : 20
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us
throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us
run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the
cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
HEBREWS 12 : 1 – 2
