majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Deuteronomy 31:6,
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of
them [Israel's enemies], for the Lord your God goes with you; he will
never leave you nor forsake you."
There is something very comforting in these words of encouragement
from Moses. As Israel prepares to enter into the Promised Land and
face their enemies, he tells them the Lord will be going with them,
and that he will never leave them nor forsake them.
We have a very similar promise from the Lord. Matthew tells us that
just prior to ascending into heaven Jesus said, "Go and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I
have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end
of the age." Matthew 28:19-20.
"Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." What a
wonderful promise! Paul tells us, "He [Jesus Christ] will keep you
strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our
Lord Jesus Christ. God, who has called you into fellowship with his
Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful." I Corinthians 1:8-9. Our Lord
is with us throughout our lives and is keeping strong right up to the
end. There is no need for any of us who know our Lord to be fearful of
being left behind by him, of not remaining in his love or of being
overcome by the challenges and frustrations of this life.
Our Lord will never leave us nor forsake us! He will keep us strong to the end!
