The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee. Duet 31:3
Our God is the Lord of the hosts(armies). The difference between the earthly kings and our heavenly King is that the earthly kings send the armies ahead of them and stay back in the palace. Our heavenly King says, I will go before thee. When we see the King before, it gives us such courage and boldness to stand in the battle field.
Today’s verse says that our Lord, “he will go before us”.
Why should he go before us? Because, HE knows the way, HE is our guide. Psa 25:4,5 & 9. HE will instruct us. Psa 32:8.
What happens when he goes before us? Isa 45:2 says “I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight”. Many times we see the straight paths that we tread in our lives and think that it is because of our faithful service and upright living. But we miss to acknowledge that it is HE who made the crooked places straight.
May we acknowledge our short sightedness and ask the Lord who can look into eternity to straighten our path everyday and lead us as he goes over before us.
