"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9

I think this verse is a beautiful source of strength. You hear it said a lot that the Lord is strong and will provide strength to us when we need it. But it is only when we are actually in a situation or circumstance where we are weak, that we actually experience what it truly means to rely on the Lord's strength. For He really does go with us wherever we go, and He always takes care of us. So what is there to be afraid of? But what I find especially beautiful about this verse from Joshua is the fact that even though it is from the Old Testament and it was written before Jesus fulfilled the old covenant, God is SO clear about how we are to have strength in Him. Ever since our beginning, and throughout human history, God has been providing us with the strength we need! That is just so beautiful. This week I challenge you to allow the Lord to be your strength and courage. Trust in Him. 

Have a wonderful week! God bless you! :)
