“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 (NKJV)
Oh, how I thank God for His Word! There are days when I just have to imagine myself being embraced and comforted by the Lord as He speaks to me. I can hear Him telling me, as He told Joshua to be strong and courageous. Not to be afraid. And that He is with me everywhere I go.
This is not a big stretch of the imagination. God encouraged Joshua with those words, and He continues to encourage you and I today. His Word still stands. He prepares us for the assignments He called us to. He strengthens us and builds us up. He holds us up and encourages us.
Every promise that God made in His Word applies to us today. “The Lord your God is with you wherever you go” also applies to us right now. It was true for Joshua, and it’s true for you and I. Again, I thank God for His Word. I have full access to Him and find Him through every word of His Word. Most importantly, He dwells among us and lives within us. He will never leave us!
Prayer Point: Thank You Lord for your powerful Word! There is nothing that I can’t face, regardless of what it is. You promised to be with me and I praise You today. Thank You Lord!
