How difficult it is to show strength and be courageous in today's world? As Joshua reminds us, it's much easier with our Lord by our side.
Whenever adversity hits, we find ourselves at a loss to take the next step. It's in our nature to assume the role of one with all the answers, and we end up disguising our vulnerability to see things through. Day after day, we try to convince ourselves that we can and should sort out our problems.
But God, who knows all and sees all, waits patiently for us to acknowledge Him as our God. Just as He encouraged Joshua after Moses' death to "be strong, be couragous," He never tires to remind us that He "will be with us wherever we go." Joshua 1:9
