Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9 NKJV)
Here Moses has passed on, Joshua is at lead of Gods people and Joshua will be leading them into the promise land! Alone?? Never. Are we alone ?? Never. Can't help but receive a image in my head of a BUG EYED JAW Dropped Joshua stood there before The Lord learning that he was to be leader of all these people, he would be taking Moses' place and treading into unknown territory! Ever feel this way???????? You want me to go where, God? With who? What???
But only shortly in chapter one of Joshua do we see The Lord comfort and reaffirm Joshua. " I will not leave you nor forsake you", " be strong and of good courage" vs.5-6. Why does this give us comfort... Because " God is with you wherever you go" Joshua 1:9
So sisters next time you have that bug-eyed feeling of the unknown to come remember that God is walking right along with you so be strong and of good COURAGE!
