Be Strong and Courageous

-

After the death of Moses the Lord’s servant,
the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant.
He said, “Moses my servant is dead.
Therefore, the time has come for you to lead these people,
the Israelites, across the Jordan River into the land I am giving them.

I promise you what I promised Moses:
‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you—
from the Negev wilderness in the south to the Lebanon mountains
in the north, from the Euphrates River in the east to the Mediterranean
Sea in the west, including all the land of the Hittites.’

No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live.
For I will be with you as I was with Moses.
I will not fail you or abandon you.

“Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead
these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I
would give them.

Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the
instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them,
turning either to the right or to the left.
Then you will be successful in everything you do.
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Do not be discouraged. I am with you. Yes, I am working within you, despite what you don’t see or sense. I am with you. Drink-in the water I offer. Apply the balm of my peace to your restlessness. My words bring encouragement. Let them soak into your life. My ways bring wholeness, for now and in the time yet to be revealed. I am active within your life. Rest in me and do not allow discouragement to affect you. My love for you is ever-growing. It reveals itself as you allow me to work. Replace what you don’t see with my assurance. My words will come to pass. They never fail. There is nothing I have shown you that I will not perform. Let the water of my living word refresh you.

Out of the Water

-
Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.” Exodus 2:10 (NLT) I have known you before your birth and blessed you with my name. I have drawn you up, out of the waters and into my presence. Walk with me. Lean into me so I can steady your way. I have places yet for you to be going; lives yet for you to reach.
