Strong and Courageous - Courage Begins in Private

Strong and Courageous Joshua 1:1-9 Will the people if God, without Moses, move forward, or stay where they are? What will you do in this new season in life? Will you move forward in faith, or will you stay where you are? Changes of season bring freedom, which can be a good thing, or it can enslave us. Gakatiins 5:13 - do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh Will you preserve? Romans 5:4 - perseverance produces character, and character produces hope Crossing the river to get to the promised land isn't going to be easy, but God will be with you, and it will be worth it. You don't always know what's on the other side of the river. Be courageous. God will provide a way forward. Move on to the future God has promised you. Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Make your life better, and the lives of those in your community better. God wants to mold us into who we're supposed to be, if we'll trust Him. No matter where you go or why you do, God is with you. He promises that if you walk with Him, he will be faithful.
