Day 357: Deuteronomy 31:7

"Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance." ~Deuteronomy 31:7, NIV

Fulfilling God's plan for you life won't be easy. Sorry, it just doesn't happen. For Joshua it was doubly, maybe triply so, just because of the nature of the people that he was leading.

But God was with him, God lead him and directed him to be strong and courageous. Joshua couldn't avoid his destiny. But just because he couldn't leave it didn't mean it would best him - God gave him strength, God gave him courage, God gave him what he needed when he needed to be the hero that we remember him as today.

He'll do the same for you, and all He asks is that you listen and obey with strength and courage.
