—Joshua 1:1-9
by: Jasmine Lynch.
We serve an all-knowing God. He knew that Joshua had self-doubt. Joshua was aware that God had called Moses to take His people to the Promised Land. But now, Moses was dead and Joshua, Moses’ assistant for almost 40 years, would have to complete the task. God spoke to Joshua (v.1) as He had to Moses in order to build his confidence: “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you” (v.5, NKJV). He then urged Joshua to be strong and of good courage (v.6). God is calling each of us to be strong, to exercise faith and courage, and to carry out His commission.
