Today’s Reading: Joshua 1:5-9
Today’s Verse: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9 KJV
Storms will continue to rage in our lives. The struggles we face in life have a purpose. They come to help us grow. They come to deepen our faith. They come to prepare us for the future.
In the Word, we have an anchor. It helps us to remain steadfast. Able to withstand anything the world brings our way. To be able to fulfill the call we have on our lives.
Joshua had a call on His life. It was to make the law of God his rule. He was charged with meditating on it day and night. This would help him understand it.
God was speaking to Joshua because he was about to take over leadership from Moses. He was going to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land.
God commanded him to be strong and courageous. Not to tremble or be dismayed.
God guaranteed that He would be with Him through it all.
He is saying the same to us. “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9 KJV
Today’s verse is a powerful reminder of God’s divine companionship. Our encouragement to trust in His strength rather than our own. He is with us even when we face difficult tasks and personal challenges.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Heavenly Father, help us to face this day with faith, not fear. Help us to face it with strength, not weakness. Wherever we go, let us remember that You are with us. Always there to guide us, protect us, and strengthen us. We will not be afraid or discouraged. We know You are with us. Thank You for this new morning and the courage You place in our hearts.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
