"No one will be able to stand up against you all of the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you or forsake you." - Joshua 1:5
Earlier this week I found myself staring doubt straight in the face. In this world of uncertainty, the enemy had waged a war in my soul. His weapon was uncertainty and fear. He uttered the words, "You are not good enough. You are not strong enough. You cannot do this." It was a very real battle. I was powerless.
The words of Joshua 1:9 have been a shelter for my soul. The promises resonate and remind me of the the truth. It says, "Be strong and filled with courage; do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua certainly faced doubt. Moses was dead and God was calling him to lead His people. He assures him that he will never leave him.
That promise rescued me from doubt. The promise that I am not alone and God is always by my side. The enemy was forced into full retreat. In Matthew 28:20 Jesus said, "and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age"
As you face the doubts in our lives, remember that God is by your side. Trust in him and in his plans to prosper you.
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,
Matt
