The Faithfulness of God

The repetition of God’s command to Joshua, “Be strong and courageous” three times is auspicious: Joshua has a history of strength and courage, he has been trained by Moses himself, and most importantly, the promises of God stand behind the endeavor.  This is God’s command, so the question is: what does God mean by “strong” and “courageous”? Our strength and courage rest on God’s faithfulness to His promises.
