Good Words for Today: March 25

“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed” (Deuteronomy 31:8). It would be enough if God simply walked with you through the events of life. But he does much more than that. He goes ahead of you, clearing the way, arranging the details of life, so that when you get there, you can have confidence that God has already been there before you. Are you worried about next week? Forget it. He’s already there. What about that  crucial meeting? Sleep well. He’s already there. What about that tough decision that looms ahead of you? Fear not. He’s already there. That’s our God! He goes before his people. He’s at work in the future while we live in the present. With that encouraging  thought, I wish you a very good day.
