He will be with thee.
"And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed" (Deuteronomy 31:8 KJV). God will go before you and take care of you. He will guide you, for it is His promise. There is a promise waiting for the child of God that waits on and obeys the voice of the Lord. The Lord is willing to pour out His promises upon His children, yet His children must be willing to depart from all that has them bound and distracted from the Living God. Moses could not go into the promised land, for he did not believe the Lord. "And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them" (Numbers 20:12 KJV). Moses still got to see the promised land from on top of the mountain. That did not stop the promise for God's children or keep them from receiving it. The Lord wants us to grab a hold of His promises by faith. God's promises will only come to His children through faith. They are received by faith. God raised up a leader to take them over the Jordan, to guide them, to comfort them, and to encourage them. Their leader, Joshua, held to the promises of God and totally surrendered himself to the Lord above. Joshua did not do this out of selfish motives or for material things, but he submitted to Christ so all the children of Israel could receive the promise also. Selfishness doesn't get too far. Material things will always rust away, fade away, and get taken away. However, the promises of God will be there for the next generation and the next after that. Our children and grandchildren must be raised in the promises of God. God bless you. Amen
