The Message translation of the Bible is written in such easy yet powerful terms as that anyone can understand what the Holy Spirit was saying when He spoke to the Apostles telling them what to write. In Joshua 1:9, God is speaking to Joshua, he is the successor of Moses. Remember, the Bible was written for believers. God says " Haven't I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don't be timid; don't get discouraged. GOD your God, is with you every step you take." Wow! The Creator of time and space, earth and sun, is with you every step you take!? Praise the Lord! Beloved friends, take courage in these words! The God we serve cannot lie! I know at this time in particular it's hard not to be fearful and discouraged. Remember though not only what God has said, but what He has done in your life. He's saved you from the fiery pits of hell. He's given you eternal life now and forever ! His power, the very same that rose Jesus from the grave lives inside each and everyone of those He calls His child! (Romans 8:11) If you're worried right now I want to encourage you in the Name of Jesus to hold fast! Hold on to the Promises of Jesus! He said He came to give you His peace, not as the world gives ( meaning perishable / ending), but as The Father gives. Meditate on Philippians 4:6-7" Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
