“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.” (Deut. 31:8 ESV)

God is with you always!

One of my favorite promises is the one above. Knowing that God is ever present wherever I go gives me great comfort and strength. And along with that promise are wonderful benefits!

Knowing God is with you will… 

·      Keep you from fear

“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.” (Deut. 31:6 ESV)

·      Keep you content

“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Heb. 13:5 ESV)

·      Will preserve you

“For the Lord loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.” (Psalm 37:28 ESV)

·      Will give you victory

“For the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.” (Deut. 20:4 ESV) 

Therefore

“Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Josh. 1:9b ESV)
