Day 26 - Deut 31:8

Do not Fear and Fear God
Deuteronomy 31:7-8 - 7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land that the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall put them in possession of it. 8 It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Moses summons Joshua and encourages Him in the sight of all Israel to be strong and courageous. His strength and his courage is found in the Lord who goes before you, he will be with you and he will never leave you... There is no time that God will not be with Joshua, ever. This is just another reason for us to study the character of God. There more we know about him, the more we know Him, the greater our ability to rest in his care, his power and his Will for our life. If we are in fear, we are saying that which we fear has more power that God. The more we consistently mediate on the character of God, the greater our ability to overcome fears in our life. Fear God only and everything else will be rightsized.
