Joshua 1:9: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
We humans are so prone to fear. We have such an innate proclivity toward worry and anxiety, such a natural bent to be afraid. Most of this, to be sure, comes from our desire to control our conditions but we are always powerless to the scenarios and circumstances of life. But in Joshua, God speaks quite plainly, commanding us to trust fully in the Lord and rely upon Him for our strength, for our relief, and for our courage. Ask yourself today: how well are you obeying this commandment? Are you strong and courageous in the Lord? If not, let us seek after Him for our courage and for our strength!
