“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.” (Joshua 1:9)
Moses, God’s servant, had died and God had buried him in an unmarked grave. Joshua, his successor, had been given the reigns of leadership over the nation of Israel. In this verse God is instructing Joshua to be strong and courageous (Joshua 1:6, 7, 9) because God is with him.
The Lord Jesus has given believers the “Great Commission” to go into the world and evangelize the lost, baptize those who become saved and teach all those whom we baptize. He then promises that He will be with us to the very end as we do His bidding. Let us be courageous and faithful to our Lord as Joshua was instructed to be courageous and unafraid.
