God of the Promised Land

God of the Promised Land Life is full of terrifying things. Sickness. Accidents. Disasters. Insects in Australia. Sometimes, it’s tempting to look around and wonder, “Where’s God in this?” or “How does he expect me to trust him ?” While this is a fair question, especially in times of difficulty, we can be encouraged by God’s history of faithfulness. In spite of trials and terrors, the Lord has stayed with his people. He strengthens us, fights for us, and holds us close. He promises to never leave and never forsake us, and he’s true to his promises (Deuteronomy 31:6–8, Hebrews 10:23). So, when we’re facing the seemingly impossible, remember that we aren’t the first people who’ve found themselves in this place. And, while his pathway often looks different than we might expect, he will deliver us into his promises.
