Be Strong and Courageous - Understanding God’s Purpose, Path, and Power for Your Life

 

In Joshua 1, God encourages Joshua three times with the phrase “be strong and courageous” - what did that mean for Joshua…and what does it mean for you today?

 

Be strong and courageous for…

Purpose - to advance the Kingdom of God, to inherit what God has for you

 

Be strong and very courageous, being careful to do…

Path - do not turn to the right or the left, stay on the path of God’s will for your life

 

Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Power - God is our power source - not your own strength…but His

 

Examining how this plays out in the life of David might help us better understand this concept.

 

David has a purpose - to battle against evil

David had a path - didn’t let the armor or discouragement of others dissuade him

David had God’s power - his faith in a mighty God
