Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take. Joshua 1:9 The Message
This was God speaking to Joshua after Moses death. Joshua was Moses assistant and after Moses died God directs and encourages Joshua to take the command of the children of Israel, and go over Jordan with them, and take possession of the land of Canaan. Can you imagine how Joshua must have felt after the death of Moses? I imagine he was grieving and there was a heaviness of despair along with fear of Rising Up to be the leader of the Children of Israel. But God showed up exactly when Joshua needed him and gave him words of encouragment and direction. God is still the same today! He does it for us too! No matter what we are going through, He is there willing to listen, encourage and give us direction. Call on Him today! He hears you and wants to encourage you today. 💜
