Friday - May 2nd

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

You must contend for the purpose that I have already committed to you. The enemy makes false claims upon the territory into which I lead you and will not cede willingly. Expect fierce resistance. But I am ahead of you in this battle, leading you to engage with my authority and promise. Always remember that I am greater than the enemy you face, and I will never fail you or abandon you. So be strong and courageous as you deal with the resistance thrown against you. You have already won.

 

Joshua 1:3, 5-6
I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you—
No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you. Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them.
