God’s Faithfulness-Deuteronomy 31
Read Deuteronomy 31:6
Today’s Truth
Deuteronomy 31 marks a significant transition in the story of Israel. Moses, the faithful leader who guided the Israelites through the wilderness, is preparing to pass on leadership to Joshua. As he addresses the people, his words are filled with reassurance and encouragement rooted in God’s steadfast presence.
In verse 6, Moses reminds the Israelites of a foundational truth: they are not alone. The same God who delivered them from Egypt, provided manna in the desert, and gave them victory over their enemies will continue to be with them as they face new challenges.
This promise—“He will never leave you nor forsake you”—is a bedrock of faith. It isn’t based on circumstances or human strength but on God’s unchanging character. Just as He was faithful to the Israelites, He remains faithful to us today.
Discussion Questions
- Verse 6 says, “He will never leave you nor forsake you.” How does this promise apply to challenges you are facing today?
- Why is it important to remember God’s faithfulness during uncertain times?
- Can you share a time when you felt God’s presence guiding or sustaining you?
Application
Courage in Challenges: Life often presents us with transitions, uncertainties, or battles that feel overwhelming. Like Joshua and the Israelites, we can take courage, knowing that God’s presence goes before us.
God’s Unchanging Presence: Reflect on times when God has been faithful in your life. Let those moments remind you that He will continue to be with you in the future.
Encouraging Others: Moses not only reminded the Israelites of God’s presence but also spoke words of encouragement to Joshua. Is there someone in your life who needs to hear that God is with them?
