Deuteronomy
31:8. “ Do not be afraid or discouraged,
for the Lord is the one who goes before you; he will neither fail you nor
forsake you.”
Do you have seemingly
unsurpassable concerns looming ahead of you?
Joshua had just inherited the
leadership position in taking the Children of Israel into the Promised
Land. It would seem feasible for Joshua
to be concerned and perhaps “quivering” in his sandals at this huge
responsibility considering whose sandals he was filling!
God, however, confirmed Joshua’s position and
gave him assurance, he would not be alone in his quest. All Joshua needed to do was be obedient and
allow God to lead him.
This promise is in God’s word
for us as well as for Joshua. The Lord
will go before us and with us through all the trials that we encounter. We are not promised an easy life, free from
strife, but God promises to walk through the trials and ‘flames’ before us and
with us. He never leaves us alone to
flounder on our own.
Prayer for
today. Heavenly Father, I know you are with me no matter what and I want to
thank you for your presence and your guidance every day that I live. I cannot imagine how difficult life would be
without you. You are my strength when I
am weak, my hope is built on you and I am so thankful to be your child. Thank you for your promises to Joshua and to
me even today because you are the same yesterday, today and forever. In Jesus name, Amen.
