A Word

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9BSB

What it means

Courage is commanded, not suggested, and its ground is not Joshua’s ability but God’s presence everywhere he goes.

Moses has died. Joshua must lead Israel into the land. Three times in this chapter God tells him to be strong and courageous.

Where it addresses you

  • You are stepping into a responsibility that feels too big.

  • Discouragement is settling in.
