The Lord Himself will go ahead of you; He will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.(Deuteronomy 31:8)
These words were spoken by Moses to the young Joshua. Imagine having to lead a people into the conquest of a great promise! Just thinking about it makes us realize how immense the challenge was. When Moses spoke these words to Joshua, he wanted to make it clear that Joshua would not be alone: the Lord Himself would go ahead of him!
In reality, these words were more than a prophecy; they were a testimony. Moses was a living testimony of how God had led His people. From the Exodus out of Egypt to their journey to Canaan, the Lord never abandoned them. God is faithful and fulfills all His promises, and it was with this certainty that Moses encouraged Joshua. The same God who freed them from slavery would guide them to possess the promise.
Do not be afraid, God will never leave us. Sometimes we look back and feel alone, but in reality, God is ahead of us. By following His steps, we move forward. God is not only with us; He helps us move forward with confidence in His promises. Do not be discouraged, do not fear, the Lord Himself will go before you.
He Will Never Leave You
Strive to have a deeper communion with God.
Those who seek Him will find Him.
Read the Bible. When we know God’s promises and see what He has already done, our faith grows, as does our will to keep moving forward.
If you feel alone, pray. Speak to God; you have access to Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Prayer:Lord God, You are faithful and never forsake anyone. I want to thank You for being with me in all situations. Guide me in the direction of Your promises. In Jesus' name, Amen.
