For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end. (Psalm 48:14)

I love that God promises to be our guide “even to the end“.  This God is my God.  This is the God that I serve.  My God will guide me through the darkest hours of life.  He will guide me through the muck and  mire of this world.  He will set my feet upon the Rock that is higher than I.  His guidance will forever be mine as I walk the many trails this life offers me.

“Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”  (Joshua 1:9)
