Reflections On Hope

DAY 10 OF 21

Our God is the ultimate encourager. Three times in Joshua 1 God tells Joshua to be strong and courageous. Joshua has already shown much strength and courage in previous chapters, but he will need more strength and courage to complete his task of taking the Israelites into the Promised Land. Joshua then goes on, in verses 10–15, to encourage the Israelites and remind them of God’s promises.

God’s Word contains many stories of encouragement, but the story of Joshua is one of my favourites. Moses, Gideon, David, Elijah, Ezekiel, Peter and many others are examples that illustrate God encouraging His people. Maybe you have a favourite Biblical character that encourages you. Share this with others; they may need to know the encouragement of the Lord at this time.

The happenings in the world may make us feel that we are in a wilderness season and that is when we need to encourage each other to stay strong and courageous. This is the time to share the Word of God with your family, friends, and neighbours.

Remember: The Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
