‘Do not be terrified, or afraid of them. The LORD your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness where you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.’ Yet, for all that, you did not believe the LORD your God, who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents, to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day. Deut 1:29-33

Reading this passage moved me much. The picture of how God carried Israel as a father carries his son to love and to protect him till the end of the trial touches me. God always makes His presence known to us so that our confidence is in the Lord but how often we live our lives in unbelief and fear. Still, God continues to give of His love freely.
