I was reading about having strength and courage in times of weariness. I found in the book of Joshua chapter 1 verses 6-9 the Lord told Joshua not one time but three times to "be strong and courageous."
Just like Joshua, we need to be reminded several times when we are weary and tired and feel it's just too hard to stand firm and keep going. Our God is the same God that commanded Joshua many years ago to be strong and of good courage; to not be afraid, for the Lord was with him always.
So how does the Lord build our strength and courage? Our answer is in verse 8. "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein."
We need to read God's Word every day. Meditate on it. Study it. Memorize it. Let the scriptures fill our hearts, minds, and souls with wisdom, guidance, and peace. We will learn to depend on God and His promise that HE is with us in every decision and situation we face.
Love in Christ,
Tera
