A daily word
Verse of the day
One verse, chosen fresh each morning, with a short reflection on what it means. A small, steady habit: read it, sit with it for a moment, and carry it into your day.
Joshua 1:9Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9 is God's charge to Joshua as he takes Moses' place: be strong and courageous, refuse fear and dismay, because the Lord goes with him everywhere. The courage is not self-made bravado. It rests on the promised presence of God, which is offered to us in the same way.
