Give Them Courage

Joshua 1: 2b - 3 NKJV Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

Joshua 1: 5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.  I will not leave you nor forsake you.

Courage is not the absence of fear but obedience in the middle of it. 




Joshua 1:6–9
Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you[ shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”



Three Keys to Courage:

1.Go : Before You Feel Ready

Joshua 1:2 “Now therefore arise…”



2. Lean : Into His Presence, Not Your Power

Joshua 1:5 “I will be with you… I will never leave you nor forsake you.”



3. Listen : Let the Word Get Louder Than Fear

Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night…

Fear rehearses disaster.   Faith rehearses truth.



There is this moment where GO —> LEAN —> LISTEN —> all collide into one decision:      Step!


Joshua 3:13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand as a heap.

God always attaches miracles to movement!
