Pastor’s Note
Be strong and courageous Joshua 1:9
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
God Assured Joshua he could be a person of courage and strength even when facing overwhelming obstacles and odds.
Like Joshua when we draw our strength from God, He will instruct us and give us strength and courage to face the enemy.
In Christ alone,
Ronnie
