'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 2:9).
After the death of Moses, the Lord God encouraged and command Joshua to be courageous and not be afraid or dismayed, because He would be with him wherever he went. He would be there for with him, as he lead the Children of Israel into the Promises Land. When we trust in the Lord and His Word, we will realised that His commands are not impossible, because with God all things are possible. Just as the Lord commanded Joshua to be strong and courageous, we too are admonished to do likewise and the Lord will strengthen our hearts and be with us. We are to simply place our trust in God, and not our own courage and strength, because the arm of flesh will fail us. That is, we are to draw strength from the Lord and not depend on our own thoughts, or strength at anytime. Like Joshua, those who are in leadership are reminded by the Lord, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous..." We are to allow God to saturate our lives with the truth of His Word; to learn to meditate upon His promises and to trust His Word. We ought to accept that God is with us, and strive to work with him through every aspect of our lives and nestled into His amazing love. As believers we are to immerse ourselves in the Word of God, learn to meditate, pray and have a deep trust in the Word of truth. God is all- powerful, and is our only strength. His strenth is made perfect in our weakness. Like Joshua, let us trust the Word of God and act upon it. We must always seek to know His truth. We ought to follow God's instructions in His Word, believe and stand firm in faith and the Lord promised to be with us wherever we go. His grace is All-sufficient and is able to aid you when you call upon his name.
Have a wonderful day
'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
