Context
Moses, about to die, tells Israel that the LORD will go with them into the land and will not abandon them. He then gives Joshua the same charge (31:7-8).
Read it in its setting. The words were spoken to Israel about entering the land. They show God's faithful presence, not a promise that every venture will succeed.
