“Haven’t I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 CSB
It was really interesting that 4 times in chapter 1 Joshua is reminded to be strong and courageous…then immediately the people of Jericho were described in just the opposite way. I am thankful that God repeats the things that are important, because I think I often miss what He says the first time. In this case they could be strong and courteous, not because of who they were, but because God was with them…or fearful and weak because He was not with them.
Lord, help me to know You so well that I am confident You are with me every step of the day!
