June 2: The Lord Goes Before You


“And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”
— Deuteronomy 31:8 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God moves ahead of us in every journey.
  2. His presence is permanent, not seasonal.
  3. Fear is conquered by trusting His leadership.
  4. We are never truly alone when we walk in faith.
  5. Dismay fades when our hope is anchored in Him.

Before I Arrive

You are already where I am going
the ground is ready beneath my feet
you whisper peace across the miles
my heart catches the sound of your voice
before my fear even speaks

Shadows fall behind me now
they lose their strength as you draw near
I forget the steps I worried over
I remember the grace that covers me
I walk on ground you have blessed

My hands tremble at each unknown turn
still you wrap them with your steady hand
you walk the roads I cannot see
you carry my burdens before they fall
you remind me that love holds first

When night rises over the hills
you stand with the morning in your eyes
you remind my soul that darkness bows
you plant light into the deep valley
you lead me without losing me

I breathe out the fear I held too long
I breathe in the stillness you bring
the road is full of your promises
the air is full of your songs
you are always where I am going
