Be strong and of good courage, do not fear not be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

The greatest history text book is the bible. There are hundreds of stories about God's faithfulness for His people. David, Moses, Noah....the list is endless. Today's passage is one of many things Moses told the people of Israel. As they moved forward towards the "promised land", he told them God would be with them, protecting them and providing for their needs. All they had to do was trust Him. 

As a child of God, we have a promised land, Heaven. Between this moment and the time we enter His presence, is a life of challenges and trials that prepare us for each advancement towards that promised land. Sometimes victories and mountain top experiences await us, other times those valley experiences make us feel like we are wondering in the wilderness all alone. Fear not child of God, for He is with you in all occasions. Deuteronomy 31:8 says...."And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you.... we have the promise that God is not only with us, but He goes before us. He knows what lies ahead and gives you the resources to safely pass through the next mile of your journey. 

What are you facing today? Health issues, loss of a loved one, A life changing event might lie just around the corner. Do you trust God? You can. History shows us Moses words still reign true today as Israel has survived years of attacks and threats, yet God still shields her from the enemy. He will do the same for you. Trust Him with every mile...He knows what's ahead and He has the provisions you need for the journey ahead. Trust Him today and every day and walk in confidence towards that promised land. God bless.
