Wherever you go

"Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land in which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go." Joshua 1:6-7

Before Joshua crossed the Jordan river along with the people God was giving out orders and commands as which to everything would take place and go according to Gods plan. In order for this great plan to come through God spoke to Joshua saying "only be strong and very courageous" God knew that it would take strength, and not only physical strength but spiritual strength to face this river that was before him. It would also take courage, imagine Joshua about to cross the Jordan river then backing down? God does not count with those who back down, so be strong and very courageous God is giving you the secret in overcoming this river of problems that has been before you.

The Lord also told Joshua to obey the law or word of God in which Moses had commanded him, not turning away to the right or left, or getting distracted, wanting to put his saying, no, but obeying just as commanded. Joshua must have needed to set his eyes on the goal until reaching it. Set your eyes on your goal by obeying Gods word only then will you see this goal realized.

The Lord told Joshua " that you may prosper wherever you go"  this meant that Joshua was going to be successful everywhere that he went. 

God wants to prosper you and give you many blessings but you have to stand up against the situation you are living "only be strong and very courageous"


Courage:the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face 
difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.

Strong:not mild or weak,not easily subdued or taken
