Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1: 7-9
What is God trying to tell you?
In this passage God is telling us several things. He starts with emphasizing the importance of following his rules and studying The Bible. Then he goes on to say that if we do this we will have nothing to fear because he will always be with us.
Going into my first year of college this fall I was very afraid that I might stray away from God and struggle with my faith. There are a lot of temptations and it’s all too easy follow the crowd and slip away from Him. After bringing this up at my church one of my friends told me about this verse and it really helped realize everything was going to be ok.
Throughout our lives we all encounter times where we get overwhelmed and feel like we won’t be able to do something. The key to this is realizing God is all powerful and there is nothing that he can’t do. If we just follow his word he will always be with us and helping us every step of the way.
