Today's Verse

Is one of my favorite passages in the OT.

-- Joshua 1:9 --

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

It harkens to a NT passage: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be of courage; be strong. Do everything in love."

An excellent example of that current of truth running though all the books of the Bible - two writers separated by a thousand years expressing the same deeply felt sentiment and the same trust in the same God.
