Deuteronomy 31:8 (KJV)
And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

Moses was about to wrap up his ministry. Deuteronomy is, if you will, his swan song. When it is completed he must bid his nation adieu.

Now, in these final chapters, we witness the change of command. The baton is about to be passed from Moses to Joshua. This seasoned leader knows something of what lay ahead for Joshua. He also has some experience with the emotions that must be racing through his prodigy. His concern was about the fear in Joshua’s heart. Moses attempted to calm those fears with this doctrine, “the Lord, He it is that doth go before thee.”

• It wasn’t Moses before him
• It wasn’t the fathers of his faith before him
• It wasn’t his enemies before him and
• It wasn’t Israel before him

It was the Lord who led his way.

Too much faith is placed today on forces other than the Lord. When we see Christ in the front line we know we have nothing to fear.
