The Israelites were determined to enter Canaan, the land promised to them. After Mosesโ death, God guided Joshua to lead the nation of Israel. However, entering Canaan was no easy feat as Joshua had to wage war against the Canaanites. They had better weapons and were much bigger in numbers. Joshua didn't let that stop him. He courageously followed Godโs word and God proved to be with him. The Israelites defeated their enemies in about 5-7 years.
So how did Joshua find courage and strength?

For Joshua to "act wisely" wherever he went, he needed to meditate on the word, day and night, never straying away from it. This instilled discipline in Joshua, allowing him to trust God's word. Although he faced challenges, Joshua followed God's word and lived a fulfilling life.
Meditate on God's Word daily. Trust in it. Believe that he is here for you and wants you to live a fulfilling life. It's not enough to just read the Word and then put it away. Listen to what God is saying. The answers are there. Apply them to your everyday life and see how your life changes. You, too, can be courageous and strong!
God Bless!
