Scared of What's Ahead? Deuteronomy 31:6 on Courage

Dude, I got under a bar heavier than anything I'd ever lifted, and my knees shook. Does being scared mean I shouldn't even try?

Nah, man. Feeling scared is human. Deuteronomy 31:6 was said to people facing something huge. Listen to this.

Scripture: Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.

Not quite, Tyler. Moses says it.

Not quite, Tyler. Moses says it. He's a hundred twenty, and God told him he won't cross the Jordan. Joshua will go over ahead of the people.

Wait, so the guy calming everyone down is staying behind? Rough, bro. Why would they trust him?

Fair. He tells them not to be afraid. He says God himself goes ahead of them, as he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, whom he destroyed.

So Jake, maybe it's less about being jacked enough and more about who's with me. Leg day with a spotter, let's go.

Hey, you watching this, what's coming up that you'd like company for? For Israel, the promise was that God goes with them.
