As you read through the Torah, one thing becomes perfectly clear—the nation of Israel was not perfect. Over and over again God provides for them, protects them, and does incredible things in their presence, yet they sin and turn away from Him. On more than one occasion God was planning to either punish or destroy them. But every time they repented, God relented. He forgave their sin and kept His promises.

This passage beautifully describes God’s heart toward the nation of Israel. He uses such tender and loving language. He assures them that they will never be alone, that He will always walk with them.

This passage isn’t only for Israel, it applies to us today. You can have the confidence that God is with you, that He will be with you through the good and the bad. Even when we fall, all we have to do is turn back to Him and He will be there waiting for us. So if you're passing through some turbulent waters, be at peace and know that God will never leave you and that He will always watch over you.
