God speaks

My devotional arrived in my email this morning and this is what God had to say to me.


God will lift up your head. Moses, the leader of the Israelites, died shortly before they were to enter the land God promised them. Joshua was appointed as the next leader. Imagine how he felt, stepping into the giant shoes left by Moses. Leading people across a desert was one thing—leading the battle to take the Promised Land would be quite another.
Joshua probably felt very inadequate to the task. But that’s one of the wonders of the Bible: God chooses the weak to show his strength. God wants you to know that He can make the weakest into the strongest, the inadequate into more than adequate.
The words God spoke to Joshua can be an encouragement to all of us: "This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9, NLT) With God on your side, he will lift you
