Exodus 6:14-7:25; Psalm 37:1-40; Acts 2:22-47
Be strong and of a good courage. Joshua 1:6
The call to be both strong and courageous is repeated four times in this chapter. The powerful, intelligent and righteous leadership of Moses had ended. Now the awesome responsibility for leadership of the nation fell upon his successor, Joshua. Humanly speaking it seemed an impossible task but Joshua was reassured that the Lord would be with him. But he must obey the Law. If he did what was right and trusted in God then his courage would not fail him
and he would provide strong leadership for the people. We should also remember the Lord’s nearness as we face difficult and dangerous situations. God is greater than all our problems. —Paul Young
Soldiers of Christ, arise, and put your armour on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies, through His eternal Son. —Charles Wesley
