Summary
Every journey with God is an invitation to travel light. “The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you” (Deuteronomy 31:8). What might shift in your life if you packed only what He’s given you for the road ahead?
Key Scriptures:
+ Deuteronomy 31:6. Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.
+ Deuteronomy 31:8. The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.
+ Romans 15:13. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
+ Lamentations 3:19-24. […] This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.”

| 0:42.0 | And let's step forward into the adventure he's prepared for us. Now, let's hand it over to Graham Cook. |
| 0:52.7 | So this week, we're going to look at how we discover the territory that God has for us |
| 0:59.3 | and how he travels with us in that process. |
| 1:04.5 | So how do we travel with God in that process of discovery? |
| 1:09.9 | That's our question. And how best can we equip |
| 1:13.8 | ourselves for that stage of the journey? One of the most powerful scriptures for this process |
| 1:20.1 | can be found in Deuteronomy 31 verse 8. And it says this. And the Lord, he is the one who goes before you. |
| 1:29.3 | He will be with you, and he will not leave you nor forsake you. |

| 1:42.6 | When you're moving into new territories of faith and favor, |
| 1:46.9 | all your resources are actually waiting to meet you. |
| 1:51.2 | Here's my question in this thing. |
| 1:53.4 | If God is going before you in your current circumstances, |
| 1:58.5 | what is he seeing out there that we're not seeing back here? And what is he placing |
