Today in your life, maybe you are facing a tough situation. Maybe you are facing something that is bringing a lot of stress upon your shoulders, or maybe it is a situation in which you feel somewhat lost and you are not exactly sure where to go. Wherever you may be, I want to tell you that God is going to take care of it.
Now you see, it can be hard when we are facing a difficult situation. It can be hard when we are stressed out or when we have no idea as to where we should go, it can be truly terrifying, not to mention discouraging. We go and we go but still, nothing seems to be working out for us, no matter how much effort we seem to put in. Or maybe you are searching, praying, and asking, but still, you have no idea as to where you are going. This can all be frustrating, and God understands that; that is why He gives us these words here in Joshua 1:9. That is why God tells us to "be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged." See, God is saying here that He knows you will face hard situations. He knows that enemy will come against you, trying to discourage you and attempt to get you to just give up, but God is telling us that, despite that, we need to stand up against it, and we need to "be strong and courageous." We need to tap into this strength that He has given us and use it. We need to know that, even though the situation may seem stressful, even though we don't know how we are going to get out of it, or even though we may feel lost and don't know where to go, God's got it in the palm of His hand, for the second part of this verse states that, "the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." See, no matter what situation may come your way, or no matter how lost you may feel, God is with you, and He is going to work this out. He is going to get you through this situation, even though you may not be able to see a way. He is going to guide you and direct your steps so that you reach where it is that He has you to be. He has your entire life, you, and everything in it taken care of. He is not only going to work this out for you, but He is going to take where you are now and use it as an advantage to take you somewhere higher.
So today, no matter what you may be facing, just be strong and be courageous, and know and trust in the fact that wherever it is that you are in your life, God is right there with you, and He is going to take care of everything.
