God's responses to Moses' objections were the promises of

What do you value more than people?

Psalm 23 v 6Surely your goodness and faithfulness will pursue me all my days, and I will live in the Lord’s house for the rest of my life.

You prepare a feast before me

in plain sight of my enemies.

You refresh my head with oil;

my cup is completely full.

Psalm 23v5

Courage and Comfort aren't circumstantial, they are relational

"I will fear no evil - for you are with me"

"I don't want to talk about you like you're not in the room,

I want to look right at you, I want to sing right to you..." Jesus Culture

He refreshes me

"A refreshed soul walks along the right path"

Where do you find your refreshment?

"He takes me to lush pastures, and refreshing water"

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23v1 ESV
