God gives courage to those who trust His promises. Joshua faced the daunting task of leading Israel into a land filled with enemies. Yet God promised His presence and victory. Joshua’s story teaches us that courage flows from God’s promises, not human strength.

Be strong and of a good courage. (Joshua 1:9)

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you. (Joshua 1:3)

As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. (Joshua 1:5)
