Deuteronomy 31
It is the LORD Who goes before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.
Deuteronomy 31:8
That is as true for us today as for Joshua and the people of Israel when embarking upon the conquest of the Promised Land. Do we believe it? Do we believe Him?
Think long and hard on this truth today. How does it affect your life? Or does it? If the LORD goes before you and is with you, what practical difference does it make for you? Do you think about this only in terms of going to heaven when you die, only for the sweet by and by? Or does it matter here and now?
As we are in the midst of Holy Week, let’s think about these questions in the light of the events of Jesus’ final days. What’s going on in The Last Supper and the Crucifixion? What relevance does the Resurrection really have for you personally, right here, right now?
