Scripture Joshua 1:1-5

Moses was a tremendous leader who had led the people from the land of Egypt. Now Joshua had been called to take his place. Joshua must have felt he had some pretty big shoes to fill. Then the Lord spoke to Joshua and told him that every place that his feet trod upon He would give to him, just like He would have to Moses.

In verse 5 the Lord told him that no man would be able to stand before him all the days of his life. Then He said something that must have thrilled Joshua’s heart. He said...As I was with Moses, so shall I be with thee; I will nor fail thee, nor forsake thee. What precious words for him to hear from God. He knew that with God on his side he could do anything.

What about you today? Has God called you to do something and you are not sure you can do it? Maybe you are afraid to say yes to God because you are afraid you may fail. Don’t be afraid, for the same God that was with Joshua will also be with you. He will see you through. If the call of God is truly on your life, He will equip you with all you will need to do whatever it is he is calling you to. Just as He was all Joshua needed, he is all you will ever need. With God on your side you cannot fail.




Because God is on our side
Whatever He calls us to do
We can do with confidence
That He will see us through
