Friday Encouragement

​Happy Friday! I pray that your day is odd to a great start! Journeying through the book of Joshua, I have noticed the repeated words, “Don't be afraid or discouraged.” There is purpose in God repeatedly telling Joshua this. Because every time God gave Joshua instructions He spoke this word to him. If God continues to speak this to Joshua, surely he wants us to be encouraged by those words. 

Doing God’s will can be uncomfortable because we often doubt ourselves. However, most of us are afraid. Listen, I just know God doesn’t want us to be afraid or discouraged. So, whatever God told you to do, DO IT! Joshua heard from God and followed each instruction given unto Him. Don’t allow fear and discouragement to prevent you from doing God’s will. The word was not only laid in the foundation for Joshua but for us to find encouragement and inspiration from the scriptures. Remember, don’t be afraid or discouraged. Always remember that you are loved! Until Monday…Lady T
