3-27-22//CONTINUE TO BE STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS

Josh 1:1-9  

Now it came about after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying, 2 "Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel. 3 "Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to Moses. 4 "From the wilderness and this Lebanon, even as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and as far as the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun will be your territory. 5 "No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. 6 "Be strong and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 "Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go. 8 "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. 9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." 

Be careful

1 Peter 5:8-11

Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. 11 To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen. 

            Eph 6:10-12

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Ps 119:9-17 How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word. 

10 With all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me wander from Your commandments. 

11 Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You. 

12 Blessed are You, O Lord; Teach me Your statutes. 

13 With my lips I have told of All the ordinances of Your mouth. 

14 I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much as in all riches. 

15 I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways. 

16 I shall delight in Your statutes; I shall not forget Your word. 

ONLY GOD CAN TURN…

A MESS INTO A MESSAGE

A TEST INTO A TESTIMONY

A TRIAL INTO A TRIUMPH

A VICTIM INTO A VICTORY
