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. Joshua 1:9 (KJV)
Devotion: Embracing the LORD’s boldness makes success inevitable. Anxiety, fear, and doubt are products of the fallen nature of mankind. These are the spirits that war against our faith in the Lord. Moses passed the leadership baton to Joshua before his death but Joshua could not immediately take up his responsibility because of discouragement. This was the strategy the enemy adopted to stop them from reaching the Promised Land. God came on the scene on two occasions to encourage and strengthen Joshua before he was able to gather courage to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land. As a Christian, God wants you to start this month well, therefore, He is asking you to be strong and courageous.
Hebrews 13:5 says ”Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee”.
God is with you and will never forsake you. Since He is with you wherever you go, your victory is guaranteed. Have faith in His Word and walk in it to make this month your month of blessings, breakthroughs, and miracles.
No matter the travails of life, Be Courageous and have the stern belief that God is always there for you.
Prayer
Almighty and every Father, I put all my trust in you. Give me the spirit of courage to overcome challenges in Jesus Mighty Name Amen.
