This week I received my key from Keys for the Journey. Keys for the Journey makes hand stamped jewelry that serves as a tangible daily reminder to be in prayer over a specific area of your journey with the Lord. I purchased an “ask for a word” key. This means that the team spends time in prayer asking the Lord what he wants to speak into your life, putting a fitting verse or word on your key. My key says Deuteronomy 31:8-

“The lord is the one who will go before you. He will be with you. He will not leave you or abandon you. Do not be afraid or discouraged. “

I read it the first time, then I read it as a statement from the Lord himself. “I am the one who will go before you. I will be with you. I will not leave you or abandon you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.” This hit me even harder. These are the promises of God. The promises I sometimes forget as I’m consumed in this world, in the stress of work, school, and just life. The promises of a God who never changes. The promises that have power to silence and still an anxious mind.

If there was any word I needed, it was this. My key is serving as a reminder of the promises of God, and trusting in him. I encourage you to purchase a key to further your journey. In doing so, you can support mine. I am partnering with Keys for the Journey for all of February, meaning up to 35% of the profits will go towards my race when you enter my name as the person you would like to support at checkout. You can do so at keysforthejourney.com. I hope you found this to be a source of encouragement today!
