This week has been extremely difficult and stressful for many people. The entire school district has been affected by budget cuts in the state of Mississippi. There were many concerns as well as thousands of unanswered questions pouring in from faculty and staff.
A sweet Christian teacher at school shared some scripture verses as well as the first chapter of Joshua in lieu of our situation. I would like to share the same scriptures this teacher shared with us.
Joshua 1-God commands Joshua to lead the people across the Jordan into the promise land (after Moses died). God tells Joshua in verse 5-"No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you."
Throughout Chapter 1 of Joshua, God tells Joshua to be STRONG & COURAGEOUS several times(these words are repeated in v. 7, v. 9, & v. 18)!!
During uncertain times--We all need to be strong! We all need to depend on God to take care of us and rely only on God for his strength and power to guide us as well as get us through tough times.
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."
John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
No matter what our circumstances---we need to TRUST in the Lord to take care of us because his word PROMISES us he will watch over us. God will never leave us nor forsake us!!
