Who Moved?

Deuteronomy 31:6 says "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." That's the just-in-time encouragement Moses gave to Joshua, the man who succeeded Moses to lead the Israelite into the promise land.

Subsequent verse 8 says "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Who can actually Go before us and at the same time Be with us? That's not something human can achieve. God is omnipresent. He is not confined to space. If God is confined and limited to space, he is not God as if God is all powerful, how can space overpower God?

God's promises will never fail for that is the character of God. When God promises something, he will definitely fulfill it. What we need to do - receive as it is.

Perfection can only be found in God.

God never moves. God is never too far away, for we are the one constantly moving. In many parts in the Bible, we can see who are the ones 'coming back to God'. For example, in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the son was the one who returned home and sought his father's forgiveness. We are the one who need to run back into his embrace. We are the one who constantly need his grace and mercy. We are the one who always make mistakes.

God's fountain is 24 / 7. The one that will never run dry.

Action involved - Come. Simply come.

If one departed from God, who moved?
