God Never Loses Us - All Our Daily Bread Daily Devotionals for 2025

Bible in a Year : Judges 7-8, Luke 5:1-16

[God] will never leave you nor forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:6

Today's Scripture & Insight : Deuteronomy 31:1-6

According to one report, global airlines mishandled over 26 million bags during 2022. Thankfully, many pieces were delayed or lost for only a short period. Thousands of others were lost for good, however. No wonder there’s a surging market for GPS devices that attach to gear, allowing you to track bags when airlines have given up. We’re all afraid that those in charge can’t be trusted to keep track of what’s important.

Israel had a similar fear about God, only they feared that He was going to lose them. As the people prepared to enter their new homeland, Moses shared the unsettling news that he wouldn’t be guiding them. He explained that he was old and “no longer able to lead [them]” (Deuteronomy 31:2). The people were probably stunned. Moses represented God’s presence and offered His words. Would God forget about them now? Would He lose them in this wilderness?

“Do not be afraid or terrified,” Moses said, “for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (v. 6). He promised that God would always be with them and assured them that He’d never ever lose them. And in the person of Jesus, God makes us this same steady, unbreakable promise. Christ will be with us “to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). God will never lose us. Never.
