The book of Joshua opens with God’s people in a season of leadership transition from Moses to Joshua. From a season of knowing the promise, God had set before them, even seeing the power of His presence. Now there was a season that God was inviting them into. A season that was new, a season that was different, yet filled with promise.
Yet they still found themselves facing a lot of unknowns and uncertainties because they had never been where God was calling them to go. Truth is, we can’t always see what lies ahead, and therefore it is easy to grow tired and discouraged. This is why over and over again when uncertainty and impossibility stood before the Israelites, God’s response in the midst of these obstacles remained the same: be strong and courageous.
As we join in this journey into the unknown territory before us, let us remain faithful as we stand strong together, and choose Courage Over Fear.
