Be Strong and Courageous

Read Joshua 1:1-9

In this passage Joshua was told, three times, "Be Strong and Courageous." How we face the things we come up against in life, this is the direction we should take. How we simply walk through day to day life, again, this is the steps to take. We should also, be strong and courageous in facing new challenges, new opportunities, new directions...

What is interesting in this, is the definition of these words, "Be Strong and Courageous." In the Hebrew, we can find it is telling us, to get a firm grip on it, to lay hold of it, to not be flabby and wavering, but to seize, and steel your ground.

In this, we should "Be Strong and Courageous" in the Pattern of God, through His Word.. The Character of God, and in His Presence. Seize His Word, Seize His Character, Seize His presence.
Looking up, not down, being willing to rise to the cause and steel your ground in His promises!

Think on this.............
