SHIELD OF FAITH
FAITH LIES WITHIN
Do you ever feel like you are trying to live your life on your own? Explain.
When you think about living your life for God what are your fears?
Right before Joshua was asked to step up and be the head leader of God’s people, this is the message God gave to Joshua:
Joshua 1:6-9 “I will not fail you or abandon you. Be strong and courageous, for you will lead my people to possess all the land I swore to give their ancestors. Be strong and very courageous. Obey all the laws Moses gave you. Do not turn away from them, and you will be successful in everything you do. Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed. I command you—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
What words or phrases do you see repeated in these verses? Why do you think they are repeated?
How do these verses say you will be successful?
How do you see God encouraging Joshua in his faith?
So here's the question for the day, "What challenges you in these verses to have faith or to strengthen your faith?" Answer in the comments!

This is a couple of verses that I always comeback to because God wants us to be "strong and VERY courageous!" This is also where God directs us to study the Bible so we practice everything in it. I even have a key chain that has this verse on it.
