Courage

"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." ~Deut 31:6~

Where has God asked you to go? Where has He asked you to stay? What instructions has God asked you to follow that make no sense at all in human eyes?

There will be moments that you are sure, when your spirit just knows it's His voice leading. Then there will be other moments that the enemy will invade your thoughts, you won't feel sure of any thing, you will feel foolish, alone & fear will almost overtake you. Be strong in these moments! Be of good courage! The Lord YOUR God...He is The One that goes with you. You are not alone, whether you're standing still trusting Him to move, or moving to follow Him...just obey. He will not leave you. He will not forsake you.

God has promised an inheritance to each of us. For some of us, it's a chance to find love again and rebuild a family. For some, it's strength to lead and carry a family alone. For one, it's healing from disease. For another it's home to heaven for a grand eternal healing. Whether your promised inheritance is forgiveness, deliverance from finances, from addictions, from bitterness...whatever you stand in need of, God has the answer. He has a promised inheritance for you.

Sometimes God asks us to walk with someone & help them find their promised land. Be strong for that person when they can't stand alone! Be courageous when they can't find the courage to keep going! Be someone's Joshua. Be the one that causes them to inherit it.

"Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, 'Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them in inherit it"
~Deut 31:7~
