“Be strong and courageous…” (Josh 1:6,7,18). This message was given to Joshua three times, twice by God and once by his own followers. He was a tested leader (Exodus 17:9) whom Moses had trusted, but now Moses was dead (Josh 1:2) and Joshua was both the military and spiritual leader of Israel. This level of responsibility was beyond anything he had experienced.
It is wonderful to have opportunity from God whether in church, business or family. But being “spiritual” is not enough. God calls women and men – people, the human element – to do “kingdom” work, and with his call comes his encouragement, “Be strong and courageous.”
