Moses, Joshua’s mentor, was no
longer with him to give advice or reassurance—all responsibility of leading
millions of people rested on him. But God reminded Joshua He was not fulfilling
his given task alone: “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). When Joshua felt overwhelmed, God’s
frequent reminders of His constant presence eased his spirit and helped smooth and
overcome the challenges he faced.
Steadfast, Bible-believing believers have days when life seems dry and entangled—unmanageable. God’s instructions for Joshua are for us also: be strong, courageous, unafraid, and be not dismayed (break down under pressure). God is always with us wherever we go, fighting for us and with us, untangling the way if we let Him. Like Joshua, we need only believe and walk in God’s truths and faithfully fulfill our calling.
