You Are Strong and of Good Courage

“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 whithersoever thou goest. 9Have 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 withersoever thou goest”
Joshua had great challenges facing him. Most of the people he was leading were doubtful. However, Joshua had to encourage all of the Israelites. Joshua himself saw the huge task before him.
Now God had to encourage Joshua. What did He say to him? “Be strong and of a good courage…Only be thou strong and very courageous.” Just like Joshua, you have a great task ahead of you. And when you think about what’s ahead of you, fear starts to grip you. No, don’t receive the spirit of fear. You are full of the love of God, you are full of Power and you have a sound mind. Don’t be afraid of assignments facing you. Let us look at the book of Ephesians 6:10, “*Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” God’s Word instructs you to be strong in the Lord and strong in His ability. He will never leave you nor forsake you. (See Hebrews 13:5-6
