Joshua 1:9 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.
This is a verse that I have held on to many times over the last year and a half. There have been so many moments of uncertainty and questioning, yet God has been ever-present. I'm not going to lie, there have been days of discouragement and days where I just wanted to cower in the corner instead of doing what God has asked. But as Joshua was commanded to be strong and courageous as he was called to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, we also are to be strong and courageous in our calling. God has gone ahead of us, as He did for the Israelites, and prepared the way for us so we can move forward confidently in the Spirit. It's not easy to answer some callings, and it definitely isn't going to be all unicorns and rainbows when we do, but when we walk with Jesus and have Him in us, we don't need unicorns and rainbows. We have someone greater within through whom we can be strong and courageous in any circumstance as we answer God's calling.
