Finding Freedom From FearSample

Strong and Courageous in the Lord

Joshua 1:9

We must be strong and courageous as we march through life. Fear and discouragement can be conquered only with strength and courage brought by the firm realization of God’s presence. God is with us, and He will never leave nor forsake us. This is His promise to us just as it was to Joshua. His unfailing presence is always with us wherever we go. Therefore, we must stand strong and courageous against all the enemies, trials, and temptations that confront us. No matter how many crushing problems, tough situations, or difficult people we face—no matter how many lustful temptations or terrifying trials we face—God is right there with us. God will deliver us and give us victory over the enemy that confronts us. We must stand strong and courageous, conquering all opposition and fulfilling our task for the Lord.
