BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS
Joshua 1:6-9
“Be strong and courageous, for you will divide this land which I swore to your fathers to give them. Be strong, therefore, and courageous to guard yourself and to do as Moses My servant commanded you; then you will not turn away from them, to the right nor to the left. In this way, you will have understanding in whatever you do. The book of this law shall not depart from your mouth, and you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may have the understanding to do all the things written therein. Then you will both prosper, make your ways prosperous, and have understanding. Behold, I have commanded you. Be strong and courageous. Do not be cowardly or fearful, for the Lord your God is with you in all things, wherever you go.”
Encouraging Words
Our God is with us wherever we go and in whatever we do. He never departs from us, even when we attempt to abandon Him. We get our strength and courage from Him. But we do not get this on our own accord. As God instructed Joshua, He instructs us. We must study those who have gone before us and learn from them. We must feed upon the teachings of God just as we feed upon food to sustain our bodies. We do not become strong and courageous in a vacuum. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
