CourageBe Strong and Courageous
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
God's command to Joshua wasn't a suggestion—it was a divine mandate backed by an unshakeable promise.
Three times in this passage God commands Joshua to be strong and courageous. Why? Because God would be with him wherever he went. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the confidence that God is present in every battle, every challenge, every uncertain moment. His presence is the foundation of our bravery.
For Today
Face today's challenges knowing that the Lord your God goes with you—you are never alone, never abandoned, never outmatched.
Prayer
Lord, strengthen me to be strong and courageous. Remind me constantly that You are with me wherever I go. I will not be terrified or discouraged. Amen.
