This scripture has been in my mind this week as I've been thinking about the topics of Strength and Courage. For most of my adult life I've had to rely on my own strength for many different situations. When I discovered my relationship with God, I realized He was there with me all along and that he is always with me now. I could have been angry and bitter (and I've had my moments) but I've always thought there was more to life than that! This scripture would have given me some peace in those early days and it's a good reminder for me now when I'm struggling. I hope you find some encouragement today as well.
Today, I'm linking up with the Sunday Community at Jumping Tandem. I hope you'll visit there for more inspiration!

I LOVE this verse, though I'm more familiar with it in the KJV. I also love that the Lord repeats the same message ("be strong, be courageous") 3 times in within just a few verses (v.6, v.7 and this one). Joshua was a pretty awesome guy, and if he needed to rely on the Lord for strength and courage, boy do I sure need to!

ReplyDeleteGreat scripture, Jackie! Thanks for sharing. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteJust happened to come by today, and this scripture is just what I needed. Isn't it something how that happens? I've copied it and made it my desktop photo. My life has been a struggle of late and I need reminders such as this.
ReplyDeleteI'm always inspired by your blog. Thank you, Jackie.
It is so comforting to know He is always there for us. Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteGreat scripture. It always reminds me that all I have to do is go within where I find the strength of the Divine.
