Day 2 – I will NEVER leave you

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV

I know what it feels like to stand on the threshold to face a situation I am really terrified to face. It could be anything you truly try to avoid at all costs, but in your heart know that you will find yourself in front of the giant. Today’s promise starts with a command, “Be strong and courageous.” I can imagine it was not that easy for Israel to take this to heart whilst looking at the hordes of enemies gathered to kill them.

But then God continued, “For the Lord you God goes with you; he will NEVER leave you nor forsake you.” Such a beautiful reassurance and even greater promise. Beautiful sister, it does not matter what you face (or have to face), you can be absolutely assured that God, the One whose love will never fail, will never leave you nor forsake you either. Do not ever think you are alone or be terrified to do something, just be strong and courageous.

Prayer: Father, thank You for loving me so much that You will NEVER leave me nor forsake me. That no matter what I face or where I go, You go. I am never alone because You are with me every second. Thank You, Lord, that I can be strong and courageous to go with You in every situation. Amen.
