Be of Good Courage


Joshua 1:7-9 "Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. "This Book of the Law shall not depart from you mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to what is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." 


Wow! What an encouragement and exhortation from the Lord! We have the whole counsel of God; everything that we need for life and godliness. We must meditate on the word and have it hidden in our heart. Our lives will prosper and flourish from being with the Lord and walking in His commandments. We will be a reflection of Him, if we don't stray from the word He has given to us. He, throughout scripture, promises us victory. Through our obedience to Him and His word, He promises us good success.


Ask the Lord today to bring to remembrance the things He has taught you. Be of good courage; He's with you wherever you go!
