Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Commentary

In this verse, Moses reminds the people that God had promised to protect them, bless them, and fight for them (Josh. 1:5; 1 Kin. 8:57). Jesus made the same promise to His church in Matthew 28:20 when he says "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." What a promise to remember!

Psalm 119:165 - nothing can make them stumble

Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Commentary

The Word gives peace in a world of turmoil and comfort in times of trouble. The verse doesn't mean that believers are immune from sorrow in this world, but that nothing will overcome them since nothing can separate us from Jesus if we are true believers. (Romans 8:38-39)
