“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” (Joshua 1:9).
Joshua was called upon to lead his people after Moses died. This was going to be an overwhelming responsibility. There wouldn’t be time for doubt and fear even if the temptation to give in to these things was great. Joshua needed the encouragement found in today’s verse. He had to be reminded; God wasn’t going to abandon him. God would be there to help and strengthen Joshua whatever he faced and wherever he would go.
When you need the encouragement to press on in spite of doubt and fear, look to this verse or find others that will give you a boost—in whatever and wherever God leads you.
