God Stays with His People She calls it the
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:6
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.”
While the Savior repeatedly told His disciples during the evening before His death that He would be going away from them for a time, He also reassured them that He was not abandoning them. He told them, “I will not leave you comfortless” (John 14:18). I have a testimony of the Father being there for me.
At the heart of the promise God made to you to never leave or forsake you is the character of God. In this promise, you see God's faithfulness to you that is born out of his great love. He expresses this love by his kindness, gentleness, and goodness that he pours out on you.
He Is Our Comfort
He loves and cares for you and will always stand by your side. Walking with Him will give you the comfort of knowing that He is always there for you. He is always with you when you need someone to lean on and a shoulder to cry on; He is always there with open arms.
Although we can say with certainty that God loves to save sinners and even the most vile person can be saved, we must also recognize that God is not obligated to save anyone. Furthermore, we must realize that God is not unrighteous by not saving everyone.
Jesus is saying that if your motive for giving is to draw attention to yourself, then you are trading an eternal reward for a temporal one. It is not as important whether others know about your giving. It is important, however, to examine the motives behind why you made your giving known to others.
Matthew 26:33 in Other Translations
33 Peter answered him, "Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away."
“And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed” (Deuteronomy 31:8).
We are doing what Philippians 4:6 instructs us to do which is to, “Not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” And when we do this, (present our requests to Him), we feel an overwhelming peace knowing that it is in His hands, which is what ...
"Your darkest hour will be like the noonday sun" (Isaiah 58:10). With God, even our darkest times have hope because He is with us.
You feel like you aren't growing.
Some relationships feel stagnant, where you don't feel pushed to improve either as individuals or as a couple. If you aren't growing in your relationship, God may be telling you that you've outgrown it altogether.
The second thing Jesus calls us to do is to “deny ourselves,” which means that we are to surrender self-will and embrace his perfect will. It is daunting task to be sure and one that we are under-powered to do on our own (2 Timothy 1:7).
Like many Bible verses, this one (Psalm 46:10) is often ripped from its context to declare something not intended in the passage itself. Well-meaning Christians may use this as a consolation in times of worry and frustration – as if God is saying, “relax, I got this.”
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
With His left hand, God appoints civil authorities to maintain order, to defend its citizens, to punish wrongdoers and to praise those who do what is good and right. In this kingdom of the left hand, the Law holds sway. Coercion and the threat of penalties and prison are used to keep the peace.
The “right hand” is seen as a place of honor and status throughout the biblical text. When the Bible makes statements that Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father, it is affirming that he has equal status to the Father within the Godhead (Hebrews 1:3, 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22; Acts 7:55-56).
Concerning unconditional promises, God has promised to never again destroy man from earth by way of a flood (Gen. 9:11). It matters not whether man is obedient to God or in utter rebellion to God, He has promised that He will not destroy man from the earth by a flood.
Deuteronomy 31:8 says, “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.” We do not have to be concerned about putting our trust in God. He will not abandon us or take back His words.
All this is to say that God's eternal, electing love is not universal but particular. Of this we may be certain: God was under no obligation to choose any. Were he to have chosen none, he would have remained perfectly just in doing so. That he chose some is a reflection of sovereign mercy.
The revelation to John supports Matthew 8:11, which says that many will come from every corner of the earth to sit with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The number 144,000 that were sealed or chosen are not pre-chosen. The number 12 itself is symbolic.
The Bible says in 1st Timothy 2:3-4, “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”. God is our Saviour and our Lord Jesus Christ is His only begotten Son.
