Truth Exposed:  Faith

In Joshua 1, the Israelites are commanded 4x’s to be strong and courageous.  Four Times! In only 18 verses! What is that all about?  To my mind, mankind is basically weak and fearful.  We don’t have the fortitude to be obedient to the Lord in all things, and we are fearful of every and any thing we don’t know or understand, especially the future.  It’s a matter of faith and trust.  Who, or what, is my faith and trust in?  From Genesis through Revelation, we are told over and over to be strong in the Lord, going forth in boldness; it is a reverberating theme.   What are you afraid of?  What is stopping you from standing strong?
