Today’s message with my first cup of the day is Deuteronomy 31:6: “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” (ESV)
Moses spoke these words to Joshua and the people of Israel to encourage them as Moses was soon to depart as their leader. He was assuring them that God’s presence would always be with them through whatever battles they would face as they entered Canaan.
The battles we face in life are usually not as literal as the ones the people of Israel faced. The writer of Hebrews echoed the words of Moses and said, “Be content with what you have, for He has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ “
Whatever your situation today, be strong and courageous. Even in times when it seems He isn’t there, God is with you every step of the way. He never leaves you. He never forsakes you.
The Message puts the passage this way: “Be strong. Take courage. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He’s right there with you. He won’t let you down; He won’t leave you.”
Be strong and courageous.
