God is With Us
"No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.” — Joshua 1:5
The presence of God in our lives helps us overcome fear. If we know by faith that God is with us, we can be grateful for His presence and we can take on any challenge with confidence and courage. We may not always feel God’s presence, but we can be thankful for His Word, remembering that He said He would never leave us or forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5) In the Bible, the basis for not fearing is simply this: God is with us. If we know God’s character and nature, we know that He's trustworthy. We don't have to know what He's going to do, when He's going to do it, or how He's going to do it. Simply knowing that He's with us is more than enough.
