God's Promise to Never Leave

God's Promise to Never Leave

God will never leave you or your loved one. 

I love the promise we see in Genesis 28:10–22 with Jacob’s dream. Genesis 28:15–16 says, “‘Behold I am with you, and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I promised you.’ Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.’”

I LOVE the first and last part of these verses. At the beginning, God tells Jacob that He is with him wherever he goes, and when Jacob wakes up, his attitude changes, and he knows, ‘the Lord is in this place.’

How many times do we feel all alone? Like we are lying on a stone rock? I know I had many uncomfortable, sleepless nights. There were times when I felt like I was alone during my husband’s addiction. One night, I “slept” in another room, listening to him getting sick from the previous night’s drinking. I felt alone and wondered if this nightmare would ever end.

But the truth is,  I wasn’t alone. God was with me, and He was with my husband. God never left us and He never will.

Here is some evidence that shows that God will never leave us:

Old Testament Promises:

• Joshua 1:5
• 1 Chronicles 28:20
• Isaiah 41:10-13
• Psalm 118:6

New Testament Promises:

• Matthew 28:20
• 1 John 4:16
• Hebrew 4:16
• Jeremiah 1:8

Remember, God’s word promises that He will never leave you or your loved one.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6
