God’s Presence Gives Courage
Moses has died and Joshua is
appointed by God to take the reins
of leadership. The people are
poised within view of the land
promised to their ancestors and
denied their unbelieving parents.
The time has come to cross pover,
conquer and possess the land.
The task seems impossible: a
turbulent river and mighty walled
cities. So God begins to prepare
His people for the warfare ahead.
He reminds Joshua that attention
to His word brings success.
Lord, we will Be Courageous:
Be Strong and Courageous,
because You will lead them
people to Inherit the land
I Swore to their forefathers
to give to them (Joshua 1:6).
Be Strong and Very Courageous.
Be Careful To Obey all the law
my servant Moses gave you;
do not turn to the right
or to the left, that you may be
successful wherever you go (v7).
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.
(Joshua 1:9). Amen and amen.
Father God, I will be strong and
courageous, I shall not be afraid
for the LORD my God goes with me.
In fact You have Promised in Your Word an Inheritance; and You will surely not fail nor forsake me.
And since You promised that It is
the Lord who goes before me; You nwill be with me & will not leave me.
Therefore I shall not be afraid what-
ever the challenge before me. Amen
Lord, I pray that every time
when I read Your Word, You will
teach me all that I need to know.
Help me Lord to understand Your
truth and speak to me specifically
about how each passage relate8
to my life and the lives of others.
Help me to meditate on Your Word
and take Steps of Obedience so that
I can live in Your perfect will & be
sussessful as You promised. Amen.
Lord, I can feel overwhelmed, but I know a glimpse of You can radically change my perspective. Thanks for Your promise of being With Me no matter what happens. Lord please overshadow my fears and worries with Your strength. Help me be strong and courageous in every challenge that I may face. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
