Topic: Be Strong and Courageous
Text: Joshua 1:5
As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you
READ JOSHUA 1:1-9

The message
In Joshua 1, we read of the transition of leadership to Joshua after Moses died. The command to “be strong and courageous” was repeated several times to Joshua and the Israelites to emphasize its importance (vv. 6-7, 9). Surely, they felt trepidation as they faced an uncertain future, but God reassuringly said, “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you” (v. 5).

It’s natural to have fears, but it’s detrimental to our physical and spiritual health to live in a state of constant fear. Just as God encouraged His servants of old, we too can be strong and courageous because of the One who promises to always be with us

Action Point
What are your deepest and most persistent fear? meditating on God’s promises will help you overcome it

PRAYER POINT
Faithful Father, thank You that You’re always with me. Help me to remember Your promises and to trust in You when I’m afraid. Amen
