“The LORD thy God is with thee”
What a promise from our awesome God and even as with Joshua He holds Himself accountable to His followers even today and forever more.
“There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:5-9
He gives the law out of His love to us so that in obedience we show our love for Him is greater than our love of the flesh. Do you remember how Jesus summed up all the laws into just two? Why not repeat them in a comment and share what they mean to you? I’ll promise in doing so it will bless you as it does me!
