Monday Meditation: Be strong

These verses have been brought before me many times this week. 

I hope they are an encouragement to you as they have been to me. 

{Joshua 1}
5. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my sevant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
...
9. 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.
...
16. And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. 
17. According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18. Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.


Be strong.
Be of a good courage.
God is with you wherever you go.
