Be Courageous

So, doing way too much thinking as of late, figuring things out in my life.  Not a lot of fun.  But, now what do I do?

Really, what are any of us to, whether we know our issues or not?  We all face problems, with or without additional issues, so there must be something we are to do - one way or another .....

There are plenty of examples in the Bible about people whom faced challenges, issues and problems I can easily see as being insurmountable!  So, I looked for an example ...

I have always had respect for Joshua. Not only did he seem to do well by God, but he faced some horrible situations being thrust upon!  Yeah, God used him ...

Joshua 1:1-9

Go Where God Tells You
In verses 1 and 2, Joshua is being told to go into the unknown.
Journeying into the unknown always requires faith.
Lots of faith.
God likes it when we are forced to live by faith and not our own strength!

Know and Obey God's Word
If you do not know God's voice, you can not hear Him.
If you do not know you Bible, you will never hear God's voice.
If you hear and do not do - God will abandon you to your folly.
Obeying means that you live it and practice it!
Obedience is what God does expect from you!

God Is always With You
Verse 9 sums it up nicely.
If we are called by His name, He is with us.
If we are doing His will, He is with us, even unto martyrdom.
If we are not doing His will, He will watch us fail and wait for us to call on Him.
If we are not called by name, well He waits for you to call on Him for salvation.


So, I can see that if I am His, if I am willing to do His will, He will be with me in what I do for Him that He has called me to.

So, I need to be courageous in facing life ...
