—Deuteronomy 31:1-8
by: Ashea West.
It is our tendency to be weak and discouraged when we face life’s challenges. Three times in the short passage, Moses encouraged the people and Joshua to be strong and courageous. Moses highlighted some of the past victories that they had witnessed and used this as fuel for his encouragement. At times, when the task ahead seems daunting, we need to remind ourselves of our past victories. This is our chance to use our story and encourage someone that God will be with them as He was with us. Let’s go against the grain and be bold ministers for God because God has promised to be with us. We have nothing to fear.
