Be Strong & Corageous!
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous... be strong and VERY courageous. Joshua 1:1-7

I've had a few conversations this week with some close and dear friends. They all had to do with BIG challenges they, we, are facing. Difficult things. Big things. I found some interestings facts in the entire situation:

• Each one of them, us, has a very special/specific calling into ministry.
• All of them, us, are trying seriously to live it out and make it happen.
• God has promised to all of us to take us through the process of reaching our maximum potential.
• The devil is not happy with either one of us.

The same way God promised Joshua that NO ONE would be able to touch him ALL the days of his life, He has promised to us, TODAY! He will be with us all and will never leave us nor forsake us. I am reminded that it might look like God is not with me, or that He forgot but, the truth is that He is with us and nothing can separate us from His love. He is true to His word because He loves us, He cares for us.

He made a promise to Joshua and later on, tells him he has a part too. Be strong and courageous, VERY courageous. Not kind of courageous, but VERY courageous. This is no business for whimpies. God knew before hand it was not going to be easy. He knew we would need this encouragement today.

Let us draw our strength from the promises He left for us in His word. And let's be courageous, conquering what is already ours. Let us not dismay until we see Him face to face.

Thank you God. Thank you for your promises and for being true.
