Thought for the day.

Greetings 

 

TODAY'S VERSE:

 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." 

Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

TODAY'S THOUGHT:

It is so easy to let fear grip our heart and influence our decisions. We rationalize why we can't be strong and courageous. We justify why we should be discouraged and drown our-self in self-pity. But, what is it that God commands? He commands, "Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Today you have a ch

oice. God is with you so decide to obey the Lord. Be strong and courageous in all you face.

This is so important and relevant. Thanks to Ron and to Ralph for introducing him to me.
