You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God!

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.—In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge.—“Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies, of the son of man who is made like grass, and have forgotten the Lord, your Maker?”

“I am with you to deliver you.”—“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress.—You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.

Evening:Joshua 3:15; Joshua 3:17; Psalm 23:4; Isaiah 43:2; Jeremiah 12:5; Hebrews 2:9; Revelation 1:17–18

“What will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?”

Now the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of harvest.

The priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firmly on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all Israel was passing over on dry ground until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.

We see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.—“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you.”

“Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.”

Joshua 3:15(Listen)
