Have you ever felt that that something or someone was
chosen over you? That you have been replaced, abandoned, separated, or lonely?
God will never leave you, you are not
alone
God will be with His people even in the midst
of change.
Joshua to Succeed Moses
Then Moses
went out and spoke these words to all Israel: 2 “I am now
a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The Lord has said to me, ‘You shall not cross the Jordan.’ 3 The
Lord your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will
destroy these nations before you, and you will take possession of their land.
Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the Lord
said. 4 And the Lord will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of
the Amorites, whom he destroyed along with their land. 5 The Lord
will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded
you. 6 Be strong and
courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” 7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to
him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this
people into the land that the Lord swore to
their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their
inheritance. 8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” - Deuteronomy 31:1-8
God will be with us as individuals even when we
feel alone.
Joshua as the Leader (Moses is gone - must lead a country across the Jordan to the Promise Land)
No one will be able to stand up against you all the
days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never
leave you nor forsake you. - Joshua 1:5
Be wise today and always - turn to God when you are lonely.
