TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Strength and Courage
Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
In times of uncertainty and fear, God’s words to Joshua echo through the ages, offering strength and courage to all who hear them. Let us delve into this powerful verse and find encouragement for our own journeys.
Joshua was tasked with leading the Israelites into the Promised Land, facing numerous challenges and obstacles along the way. In the midst of his doubts and fears, God reminded him to be strong and courageous, for He would never leave nor forsake him.
A young woman faced a daunting decision, unsure of which path to take. Feeling overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty, she turned to God in prayer. In the quietness of her heart, she heard His gentle voice whisper, “Be strong and courageous, for I am with you.” With renewed faith, she stepped forward, trusting in God’s guidance every step of the way.
As we journey through life, let us hold fast to the promise of God’s presence. May we take courage in knowing that He walks beside us, guiding and strengthening us each day. With His assurance, we can face the challenges ahead with confidence and trust. Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help us to heed Your command to be strong and courageous. In moments of doubt and fear, may we find our strength in Your presence. Thank You for Your unfailing love and assurance that You are always with us. Grant us the courage to face whatever lies ahead, knowing that You go before us. Amen.
