What are you afraid of?
Last night, I attended a choral program. The music was engaging and meaningful. One of the selections was sung partially in the Swahili language.
"Grant us peace, give us courage," was the message of the song.
As I walked outside at the conclusion of the concert, the sun had set; the blue and gray hues of dusk began to envelope the far-reaching steeple that rose high above the sanctuary.
Deuteronomy 31:6 says,
"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."
In this passage, Moses was relating a message of encouragement to the children of Israel concerning those they were to encounter as they entered the Promised Land. They were not to be afraid. In matters of our own lives, neither are we.
Does the Lord our God go with us?
Will He ever leave us?
Will He forsake us?
He will grant us peace.
He will give us courage.
