Joshua 1:9
[9]Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” The Order to Cross the Jordan
Be strong and courageous
The children of Israel had wandered in the wilderness, for 40 years and it was up to Joshua to lead them into the promised land. As he was feeling the overwhelming weight of the task before him, the Lord offered him words of encouragement in the above text.
There are times in every individual's life when they are frightened and distressed about the future. But even amidst hardship, the Lord counsels us to be strong and courageous. God promises that when we turn to Him for guidance, we will succeed. He has the answers and strength we need to face any challenge before us. He was with Joshua and, He will be with us.
Prayer
Heavenly Father we pray that we be courageous and strong. May you drive out fear in us in Jesus Christ's name, Amen.
