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.”
As Moses prepares to hand over leadership to Joshua, he addresses the Israelites one last time. They are about to enter the Promised Land—a place full of unknowns, fortified cities, and powerful enemies. But rather than fixate on fear, Moses tells them to fix their eyes on God. This verse is part of his charge to the people, reminding them that their success doesn’t depend on their strength but on God’s constant presence and faithfulness.
When life feels intimidating—whether it’s facing a personal battle, a tough decision, or a season of change—this verse is your anchor. You don’t need to summon courage from within yourself alone. God goes with you. You are not abandoned, not left to figure it out on your own. So take heart. Be strong, not because you feel strong, but because He is with you—and He will not fail you.
