Devotional on Deuteronomy 31:6 – Be Strong and Courageous
“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” – Deuteronomy 31:6 (ESV)
In the journey of life, we often face challenges that make us question our ability to move forward. The Israelites, poised to enter the Promised Land, experienced a mix of excitement and dread. They had seen God’s miracles, yet the giants in their path loomed large, casting shadows of fear and uncertainty. In this pivotal moment, Moses compelled them to be strong and courageous. His words resonate still, echoing into our own lives today.
When faced with fears—whether rooted in relationships, career changes, health issues, or spiritual doubts—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The command to “be strong and courageous” isn’t just an encouragement; it’s a reminder of God’s unwavering presence. He is not a distant observer but an ever-present help in times of trouble.
In moments of weakness, we can find strength in knowing that God walks beside us. He prepares a path, equips us for the journey, and offers solace in our trials. Remember that Moses didn’t promise an absence of adversity; instead, he assured them of God’s continual support. In your own struggles, cling to the truth that you are never alone.
Courage, therefore, is not the absence of fear but the resolve to move forward despite it. Each step taken in faith brings the comforting assurance that the Lord goes before us, providing the strength we lack.
As you reflect on Deuteronomy 31:6 today, consider what fears hinder your journey. Pray for the courage to confront them, knowing God stands with you. Embrace His promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Let this truth embolden you to step forward into the unknown, trusting that in every challenge, you will find the strength necessary to persevere. God is not just with you; He is for you.
Thank You and God Bless
