Strong and Courageous

Having finished the book of Deuteronomy, we continue on with the book of Joshua. Here we see the children of Israel finally enter the Promised Land and begin to conquer the enemy!

Read Psalm 95

Read Joshua 1

Wow! I don't need that I need to comment too much. Our readings today are full of comfort, encouragement, and hope. God is with Joshua and Israel wherever they go. Therefore, Joshua (and Israel) should take courage, be brave, and be strong in the Lord's might. We know those promises are extended to us as well.

This Word of God is preserved for us as well. Be strong. Take courage. God is with us wherever we go. His Spirit has been given to us, and we are therefore encouraged to remember that we are in Christ and he is in us. There is nowhere we can go to be apart from him. Therefore we confess our sin, rejoice in the forgiveness he gives us through the cross, and face our day with joy, peace, and confidence.

There is much reason to sing and make a joyful noise to God, as Psalm 95 says.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down!

Pray:

Pray from your heart today, giving thanks to God for all of his goodness!

Study with me tomorrow,

Pastor Jon

Soli Deo Gloria
