Presence

 Deuteronomy 31:8 ESV

 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.”


Moses' words to his successor Joshua are powerful and encouraging. I love too how God himself echoed them to Joshua later on. Joshua also encouraged his people with these truths.

The truth isn't exclusive. We're not to be miserly with it. What we hear whispered in our ears of God we should shout from the rooftops.

God is present. He's not just some distant force way out there in the universe. He's there with his people. 

We're not about to be abandoned by God. So we don't need to be afraid or discouraged. We can be bold and confident.

'Dear Abba God, we're so grateful for your presence with us by your Spirit, because of our Saviour Jesus, in whose name we pray. May we be encouraged in you, for your honour, amen'.
