Joshua 1:7-9

7 Be strong and very courageous . Obey all the laws Moses gave you. Do not turn away from them, and you will be successful in everything you do. 8 Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed. 9 I command you — be strong and courageous ! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." NLT

 

Be strong and courageous. Do you feel this is you? What was the reason that Joshua could feel that he was strong and courageous? Because God was with him wherever he went. Do you feel sometimes that God is not near? But what does His Word say? I will never leave you or forsake you. Guaranteed. What is required of us to be strong and courageous? First you must believe God’s Word then obey God’s Word and study and mediate of His Word. Do not be afraid or discouraged of this world for something greater lives within you. Jesus Christ lives within you and He has overcome the world. When you obey God’s Word you will succeed.

I Command you to be strong and courageous!

Luke 12:29-32

29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God ; and all these things shall be added unto you.

32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. KJV

 

Seek first the Kingdom of God. God wants you to seek Him and He wants you to seek the Lord Jesus Christ. Seeking the Lord is a little like putting a puzzle together. You first must search for the pieces that fit together. Then begin putting them together, one piece at a time or one step at a time. As you seek God’s love, grace, peace, patience, mercy, joy -- the pieces begin to form a picture of what God wants for your life. God already knows what you need and when you need it. You may overlook a piece several times before you notice that it is the piece you’ve been looking for. God shows you the piece at the right time that you need it. Trust Him to help you along the way, He knows where every piece fits and He knows just how to help you place the next piece so that you begin to see the bigger picture. God’s will is perfect for you and it is tailor made just for you.

“Seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you”
