The Lord before Us

Listen to the words of Moses as he was being obedient to the Lord.
Deut.31:8 It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. Although the words from Deut. were intended for Joshua who was to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, I believe these words are true for all who follow Christ. We have been given the command of the great commission, to make disciples of all nations, and we know the Lord leads the way. I really am being fed the truth from the Old Testament. I always thought it was not very full of stuff I needed but I was so very wrong. Some very spirit-filled words come from these books. Lord, help us not to ignore these precious books. Open our heart to these truths. All your words are good for meditation and passing along to others. You give them to hold in our heart for comfort and sometimes, conviction. Lord, you are a mystery and a wonder, but we get a glimpse of you in your Holy Word. Amen
