In the section “Settlement: Seeing God,” what truth about God impressed you the most? Why?
-
Personally, having gone through some difficult circumstances, knowing the God promises to be with those who trust in Him has been a comforting and real promise. His presence was known and felt in powerful and encouraging ways.
-
God surrounds us with love and protection in all that we become involved with. He travels with us all through life and is in complete control even as we are disobedient and unsure of ourselves.
-
I can appreciate everything listed:
- He keeps His promises.
- He gives His people directions (3:8).
- He promises to be with those who move forward with Him (3:7).
- He supports His appointed leaders (3:7).
- He has the power to turn formidable obstacles into safe pathways (3:15).
- He makes His presence known (3:15–16).
- He has the power to control nature (3:15–16).
- He wants His mighty works remembered and recounted to our children (4:1–7).
- He wants nations to know of His might (4:21–24)
-
God promises to be with those who are with Him. We have free will, however, by choosing to live by God’s commands as well as we can, God will always be with us, even during times of distress.

God has the power to turn formidable obstacles into safe pathways. When we see no way, he provides a way. This is very hard when you’re in a trial and everything you “see” is impossible. But he is faithful to provide a way in ways that we would never expect.
