Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”(ESV)
This is a powerful verse from the book of Joshua. These words offer great strength and encouragement in the middle of our challenges and uncertainties. God’s command to Joshua applies to us as well. It isn’t spoken in a harsh tone, but rather in love. He calls and invites us to be strong and courageous, trusting in His power. We need not be afraid or discouraged because our loving Father is with us always. Let us find comfort and hope in His presence, stepping out in faith and experiencing the abundant life that comes from trusting in Him.
At our church, we always end every service with the same blessing from Numbers 6:
Numbers 6:24-26 (24)The Lord bless you and keep you; (25)the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; (26)the Lord lift up his countenance (face) upon you and give you peace.(ESV)
