Finding Strength in God's Promises
3/8/2024
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
- Joshua 1:9 (ESV)
Life can often feel like an uphill battle, filled with challenges and uncertainties. In these moments, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, afraid, or uncertain about what lies ahead. But God's message to Joshua is just as relevant for us today.
When God tells Joshua to be strong and courageous, He's not asking him to muster up his own strength or bravery. Instead, He's reminding Joshua—and us—that our strength comes from Him. We don't have to face life's trials alone because the Lord our God is with us every step of the way.
So when fear starts to creep in, when doubt begins to cloud our minds, we can hold onto the promise that God is with us wherever we go. We can find strength in His presence, knowing that He will never leave us nor forsake us.
God doesn't promise us a life free from struggles, but He does promise to be our constant companion through it all. He's there to guide us, to comfort us, and to give us the courage we need to face whatever comes our way.
So let's take heart in these words from Joshua 1:9. Let's be strong and courageous, not because of our own abilities, but because of the unwavering presence and faithfulness of our God.
