Before I Get There, God is There

Before I Get There, God Is There Sometimes the hardest battles we fight are over things that haven't even happened yet. We lie awake imagining the phone call, the diagnosis, the financial crisis, the loss, the disappointment—or simply wondering, “What if my life doesn't turn out the way I hoped?” Fear takes us into tomorrow without reminding us that God will be there. In Deuteronomy 31:8, Moses reminds Joshua that the Lord “doth go before thee.” We may not know what tomorrow holds, but tomorrow is not unknown to God. He goes before us, remains with us, will not fail us, and will not forsake us. This message is for anyone carrying the weight of a future they cannot see. You don't have to know everything that is coming—you just need to remember that before you get there, God is there.
