Good morning.
Have you ever wondered what went through Joshua's mind when God charged him to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land? Joshua was fully aware of just how daunting the task before him was, yet he was determined to obey God no matter what. Whatever doubts and fears the young man faced in his heart and mind, he took up the mantle of leadership with courage. He placed his faith in God, who had never let the people down. And Joshua fully expected the Lord to be true to His word again.
It is quite possible that you are facing a few challenges, but no matter what challenge you’re up against, God says the same words to you that He lovingly spoke over His servant, Joshua: “Be strong and very courageous” (Joshua 1:7). Joshua’s bravery was based upon years of seeing God’s faithfulness. Whether one has been a Christian for five minutes or 50 years, we can have the same confidence.
The Lord is sufficient to meet our needs. He is our “refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). We can rely on Him in all things, and like David, we can boldly say, “You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head." (Psalm 3:3)
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
