The Bold Letters
Hebrews 13:5-6
Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU. Therefore, we may boldly say: THE LORD IS MY HELPER; I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT CAN MAN DO TO ME?
Pay close attention to all those bold letters! I’ve printed them exactly the way they are printed in my Bible. Any time you see all caps used, the writer is saying something loudly. God is literally yelling these words to us! He is emphasizing a promise we all need to proclaim every day. He is with us, and He will never leave us. While the enemy may try to make us feel as if we are all alone and that no one cares, God makes this bold, clear, distinct, and loud promise that He is surely with us, and He is our helper in time of need.
Because God is with us, we can boldly proclaim – to the Devil or anyone else who irritates us – that God is our helper, and we are not afraid. What can man do to us if God is on our side? He is with us; He is for us, and He is our helper. Woe be to anyone who stands in His way!
God has your back. He also has your front and each side. In fact, He encircles you, according to Psalm 139. Write these bold words down, and put them on your mirror and your refrigerator, where you are sure to see them. Write them on a note card and carry them in your purse. Recite them each morning and every time you feel alone or defeated. Your emotions will lie to you, but God’s Word is written in bold to you as a reminder that He is with you and for you! The more you say them, the more they will begin to sink into your spirit. The more you come to believe them, the bolder you will become, and the more your faith will ignite.
Read the bold letters. Say the bold letters. Memorize the bold letters. They are God’s promise to you and yours for the keeping and assurance of knowing He is yours, just as you are His. You are not alone. God is with you, and His presence is all you need. His presence is more than enough.
Have a blessed day!
