God Is Always Here!
"Be strong and of good courage, do not
fear nor 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
Toddlers love to go out on walks by
themselves.
Without fail, toddlers glance back, or even stop
and turn around as if to say, “Are you still with
me?” Once
assured of the parent’s presence,
they forge ahead.
We are like toddlers in that we need to be assured
of God’s presence, especially during difficult times.
We can’t turn around and see Him, but we can read
the promises of His presence in
Scripture.
When the Israelites were about to invade the
Promised Land, Moses had assured them that
God would be with them (Deuteronomy 31:6).
Psalmist David wrote God was with him
even in “the valley of the shadow of death”
where “goodness and mercy” would always
follow him (Psalm 23:4, 6). And Jesus said,
“I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20).
You are never alone when you belong to
Christ. He is there to share your burdens
and guide your steps.
"I would rather walk with God
in the dark than go alone in
the light."
Mary G. Brainard
