Born a Sissy

You may be born a “scaredy cat”, but know this…just like Joshua, there is no need to be afraid.

Imagine the fear Joshua must’ve felt when he was taking over the role that Moses had been in for so many years. He knew that was some big shoes to fill.


God didn’t allow him to be a sissy.


He COMMANDED him to be strong and courageous. He had to ignore any “feelings” of inadequacies and fear he may have had about leading the Israelite people into the promise land. Why? The Lord was and would continue to be with him wherever he would go.


I know things can be tough for you. I know you “think” you are not capable of dealing with what’s going on in your life at the moment. Those inborn thoughts that want to send you in retreat from the enemy are just that…thoughts.


Reverse those and believe (and say) what God says. “Be strong and courageous. Do NOT be afraid. The Lord is WITH YOU wherever go.”


Joshua 1:9 NLT

[9] This is my command-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." #helpforyourdailywalk #paulaandthebible
