Joshua 1, Psalms 68:1-19, Acts 19:23-41
What God said to me – As I was speaking with Joshua in preparation to lead the people across the Jordan into the promised land, I admonished him over and over to be strong and courageous. You see walking with Me is not easy – it requires courage to face the things you will face, especially in the world today. Just as Israel was going to fight many battles as they entered the land, you will also face many battles. You will face cultural and spiritual wars and it will not be easy to stand strong and not compromise – it’s easier just to stay silent and not speak against the sin and evil in society. I will tell you what I also told Joshua – don’t let My word depart from your mouth but meditate on it day and night – be careful to do all that I say – the world can refute your words but when you speak My word then their argument is with Me. “I AM” with you and will lead you but you must remain strong and courageous. This time with Me is where I prepare you and give you the power to stand.
