(Love, love, love God's message to Joshua in today's passage. So instead of my comments, I thought it would best to focus on these words...and hopefully they'll encourage you like they encouraged me today.)
In the same way I was with Moses,
I'll be with you.
I won't give up on you; I won't leave you.
Strength! Courage!
You are going to lead
this people to inherit the land that
I promised
to give their ancestors.
Give it everything you have, heart and soul.
Make sure you carry out
The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it.
Don't get off track, either left or right,
so as to make sure you get to where you're going.
And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind.
Ponder and meditate on it day and night,
making sure you practice everything written in it.
Then you'll get where you're going;
then you'll succeed.
Haven't I commanded you?
Strength! Courage!
Don't be timid; don't get discouraged.
God, your God, is with you every step you take."
Tomorrow: Joshua 5-8
