God Will Not Abandon You
I recently had a conversation with a father who told the story of a son who left home and walked a destructive path.
The father was never sure if the son would return home. But he said to me that he believed God would not abandon his son regardless of whether he came home.
It was this belief in God that kept hope alive for his son.
There is a story in the bible where Moses is turning over leadership to Joshua. It is Joshua’s turn to lead the people out of the wilderness. Moses says, “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. So do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Friends, if today you find yourself with a friend or family member making poor choices and the future seems unclear, or if you are in a position to lead in the face of uncertainty, go with the confidence that the Lord goes before you and will be with you. God will not leave you alone.
