“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
— Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
Reflection on Today’s Verse
Joshua 1:9 is a command and a promise from God to His servant Joshua as he prepared to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. This verse emphasizes the importance of strength and courage, not because of personal ability, but because of God’s constant presence.
In our lives, we often face situations that require bravery and determination. This verse reassures us that we don’t face these challenges alone. God’s promise to be with us wherever we go gives us the confidence to overcome fear and discouragement. With God’s presence, we can move forward with boldness, knowing that He is guiding and supporting us.
Personal Prayer
Dear Lord,
Thank You for Your promise to be with me wherever I go. Help me to be strong and courageous, trusting in Your presence and guidance. When I face challenges, remind me that You are with me, giving me strength and courage to persevere. Amen.
