Joshua 1:1-9 (NLT) After the death of Moses the Lord’s servant, the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant. He said, “Moses my servant is dead. Therefore, the time has come for you to lead these people, the Israelites, across the Jordan River into the land I am giving them. 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. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.
Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. 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.”

√ THE SEASON MAY CHANGE, BUT THE SOURCE STAYS THE SAME.
Joshua 1:5 (NLT) As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
√ GOD DOESN‘T GIVE US EVERY DETAIL, BUT HE ALWAYS GIVES US HIMSELF.
Joshua 1:9 (NIV) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
I. GRIEVE WHAT ENDED, BUT DON’T GET STUCK THERE.
Joshua 1:1 (MSG) God spoke to Joshua, Moses’ assistant: “Moses my servant is dead. Get going. Cross this Jordan River, you and all the people."
Ecclesiastes 3:1,4 (NIV) There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die...a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.
II. LET GOD‘S FAITHFULNESS BE YOUR FOUNDATION.
Joshua 1:5 (NLT) As I was with Moses, so I will be with you...
Lamentations 3:18-23 (TLB) All hope is gone; my strength has turned to water, for the Lord has left me. Oh, remember the bitterness and suffering you have dealt to me! For I can never forget these awful years; always my soul will live in utter shame.
Yet there is one ray of hope: his compassion never ends. It is only the Lord’s mercies that have kept us from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his loving-kindness begins afresh each day.
III. LEAVE TOMORROW IN GOD’S HANDS.
Matthew 6:27 (TLB) Will all your worries add a single moment to your life?
34 So don’t be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time.
