HE SHALL BE WITH YOU
Deuteronomy 31:23
Then Moses commanded Joshua the son of Nun and said, “Be valiant and strong; for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land the Lord swore to them; and He shall be with you.”
Encouraging Words
We are all called to be Joshuas in our lives as we strive to follow and serve Christ. Joshua's journey began when he was selected with the other spies to check out the promised land before the people of Israel were to enter into it. All of the other spies, except him and Caleb, told the people that the land was flowing with milk and honey, but guarded by giants that they could not overcome. Only Joshua and Caleb proclaimed that God would prevail and give them the land. The result of this rebellion by the other spies and the fear of the people was being stuck in the wilderness for 40 years until everyone who rebelled would die and not be allowed to see the promised land. Only Joshua and Caleb were allowed to make it in. Joshua is tasked with leading these special people into this new land with the charge to, "be valiant and strong", and with the promise that "the Lord shall be with him". As we serve our Lord, showing people the promised land that He has for them, we too are promised that He shall be with us. Glory be to God!
