-Joshua 1:5-
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
His promise for Joshua is the same for us.
Be strong and courageous. (v6)
Be strong and very courageous. (v7)
Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged. (v9)
In addtion to that:
Do not turn...to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. (v7)
For real. Stay on the path and do not stray.
Do not turn from Him but turn back to Him.
Lord lead me and teach me Your ways!
I see the parallel between Joshua and Elisha: followers of Moses and Elijah.
Joshua 2:16-17 <==> 2 King 2:15
Only be strong and courageous! (v18)

One last note on Joshua 5:9
Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.
2008 is the year of circumcision. And by consecrating ourselves and letting our pasts roll away, God will do amazing things among us (Joshua 3:5)!
Thank You Holy Spirit for Your revelation and a new understanding/connection between scriptures. Your writing has been so fascinating and mind-blowing! I love it!
BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS!
