Deut. 4:30-31 - "'When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days you will return to the Lord your God and listen to His voice. For the Lord your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.'"
This promise spans the width of many seasons in people's lives. No matter if you are in distress, or you are just turning back to God or have walked with Him without parting for years, God is a compassionate God who will not destroy you, who will not fail you and who will keep His promises. God never changes His character when we change ours. The Israelites had a lot to be concerned about. A lot to be fearful of, they had experienced plenty of loss and destruction (much like today). But in the moment of transition God reaffirms His goodness to them through Moses. He will pour His compassion on them and speak to them. They will hear His voice. He is confirming that He will remain close to them, He will not be silent, He will be their fan. His promise is for us as well. He does not remain silent, He shows us His compassion and walks with us each moment of the day and cheers us on.
