vs 3: 'I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. '
vs 5: 'No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.'
Father, Joshua is about to embark on his journey of leading the Israelites to the promised land and I believe that you understand Joshua just like you understand each of us. Before we venture out into the new challenges or a new chapter, we have feelings of uncertainty because we do not know what lies ahead of us. To encourage and reassure him, I like the way you are reminding Joshua about the things you have done in the past, great and miraculous things. You encourage him to be strong and courageous! You still do that to us today! You remind us through your Words!
vs 9: 'Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.'
You remind him about the importance of reading your Words, meditating on it and doing everything that is in it. Only when they do that, then they will be prosperous and successful.
vs 8: 'Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.'
Why should they do this? because your Words have POWER!!
