Be Strong and Courageous!

Our lessons continue about God appoints Joshua as Moses successor.  The Children of Isreal are ready to move into the promise land. Moses encourages Joshua to be strong and courageous!  Moses is now a 120 years old and is unable to enter the promise land due to his disobedience by striking the Rock.  God selects Joshua to lead the people  In Joshua 1, God lets Joshua know that he is with him and that he has no need to fear.

Joshua 1: 6-8
"Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. ⁷ Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. ⁸ Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."


I hope you find the courage you need today just like Joshua.  When we have God leading us we have nothing to fear.
