“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
God again encouraged a nervous Joshua, “I repeat, be strong and brave! Do not yield to fear nor be discouraged, for I Am Yahweh your God, and I will be with you wherever you go!” God had told Joshua that he would possess a vast territory and no one would defeat him. Yahweh would be with him just as He was with Moses and He would never fail Joshua, nor abandon him. Yahweh said that Joshua would enjoy prosperity and success and He would be with him wherever he went. What Yahweh promised Joshua, He fulfilled and now in our better Joshua (Jesus), He has fulfilled greater promises through His Holy Spirit in the better covenant. Now may the God Who brought us peace by raising from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ so that He would be the Great Shepherd of His flock; and by the power of the Blood of the eternal covenant may He work perfection into every part of us giving us all that we need to fulfill our destiny. And may He express through us all that is excellent and pleasing to Him through our life-union with Jesus the Anointed One Who is to receive all glory forever! Amen!
