Joshua 1:6-7 KJV
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.

Dearest Sisters,
Happy Monday!
I hope that you and yours are off to a jazzy start this week!
Are you feeling discouraged or doubtful from day to day?
Are you worried or concerned from week to week?
Are you fearful about trailblazing the path you're on? Do you sometimes feel lonely, overwhelmed, misunderstood or unqualified for your present tasks and obligations?
Take heart! You can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you. God is with you always. He will never leave you nor forsake you. The Lord God has established your path; your steps are ordered. God will not fail you. Trust God!
Just prior to the children of Israel entering the Promised Land, Moses died and Joshua was appointed their new leader. Joshua felt the magnitude of his new position and responsibility. After all that he witnessed under Moses's leadership, while leading the often stubborn and ungrateful Israelites through the wilderness, can you imagine how nervous and ill equipped Joshua probably felt? Joshua probably felt very intimidated. He probably doubted that he could fill Moses's shoes. Nevertheless, the Lord commanded Joshua to be strong and of a good courage and to take charge of his assignment. And, the Lord said:
Joshua 1:9 KJV
9 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.
9 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.
Ladies, God calls us to be strong and courageous as we follow Him. We can be strong in the Lord because Christ strengthens us; in Him we can do ALL things. We can be courageous while on our pilgrim journeys because God is our shepherd.
Have a blessed and beautiful day!
Hugs!
