7Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.
8Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
- Joshua 1:7-8 (NIV)
Joshua was the newly-appointed leader of God's people. He had a monumental task at hand. He was facing some serious shoes to fill by replacing Moses. He needed some guidance.
Moses was dead and gone now. He was of no help to Joshua anymore.
The people were looking at Joshua as the leader, expecting him to have the plan necessary to get them into the Promised Land. He couldn't ask any of them. They were no help to him either.
Joshua got a visit from God. Sometimes that's all that you need. God speaks with him and shares some vital words of encouragement for him. He was in need of those words from God.
Be strong and very courageous . . .
God offers Joshua words of encouragement and shares how he should stick with His Word dailky. This would help Joshua as a leader. Let the same be said of you as a Christian leader. The Word can serve as your support when you have no other help in sight. Let the Word lead you daily.
- Learn from the Word daily.
- Live by the Word daily.
- Lead by the Word daily.
