There has to be some responses left out of this story, right? I mean, Joshua was just thrown into something HUGE & HARD & SCARY, and I bet whoever his best friend or wife was, they heard about it. If he was anything like me as a human, he would have felt inadequate for the job, fearful of the outcome, and unexcited about jumping into a series of battles. This is the cycle I live in when I am not trusting in the Lord: inadequacy, fear, disillusionment. I realized today, though, how insulting that is to God! He made me for His purpose and never promised an easy road; yet, there I sit and question Him!
So many of my fears are found in a sea of insecurity. Yikes! Today, I can be reminded not only to take His strength and courage but also remember WHO I was created by, my infinite worth in Him, and His capabilities through me.
God, remind me of your promise...that you are always with me and you will give me YOUR strength. Remind me that the purpose you have called me to is greater than my fear and your life in me is strong enough for anything.
