“Be strong and courageous!…Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; He will never fail you nor abandon you.”
Moses said this to the next leader of God’s chosen people, Joshua. Historically, the last words of a person are considered among the most important to note. These would stay with Joshua through his life, and in his darkest times of concern or needing clarity, they would echo powerfully. As we continue to move through January of 2016, we all need to stand again with strength and good courage. The world continues to hurtle towards massive change, but do not lose heart. For His children, He will never fail nor abandon. Give yourself to God; He certainly desires to be close to you.
