“I WILL NOT FAIL THEE…” Joshua 1:5

I think any young man would have stood there in fear and trembling, as he looked around at the 1,000,000 plus, Israelite slaves… knowing that “Moses was dead!” God had told Joshua, “Moses, my servant is dead!” (He’s not coming back from the mountain as he has done before. He is dead!) That’s enough to shake the faith of any young man, who has a calling on his life.

Moses had been with him and the slaves from Egypt for many years… Moses had always been the “go-between” for them and God, always pleading their case… but now he was dead!

But God spoke this to Joshua, a young man, who had been with Moses. “I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage.” Joshua 1:5-6

You may be going through some “scary things today” … maybe it is a bad report from the doctor. Or, your teenage daughter is pregnant… or, you can’t pay the mortgage bill… or your husband has left you. There is “nothing too hard for God!” Nothing!

God is not challenged by small things, nor is He challenged by big things. He is just God! He is saying to you, today, “I will not fail you, nor forsake you… Be strong, and of a good courage.”

This is your Word from God today! Now, let’s praise Him!
