No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. Joshua 1:5-6 NIV
This is such a wonderful promise that it needs to be read every morning. Write it on your heart and put it on your lips. Paste this verse on your bathroom mirror. Every Morning as you are getting ready for the day, read it and meditate on it.
Then tell yourself that your God is bigger than any problem, mountain, persecution, person, or a government law that may stand in your face today.
God is not going anywhere. He has promised to be with you in the valley of the shadow of death.
The second verse is why it is important. God has promised you a new land, a land of no more pain and suffering. A land of no sorrow and death. A land of no arguments and disagreements. Your room is being built, and God wants you to live right beside Him.
Following God will not be on a flat straight smooth road. He told His disciples that they would be persecuted and ridiculed for His Name. He told them He would be with them to the very end of this world. He Promised them to come back and take them to their new home.
God is sending His Son to come redeem us from this world. Will you be strong and courageous in whatever the world has to offer in the coming years?
Prayers for All.
