The Bible
Only you be strong and very courageous, that you may do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.
(Joshua 1:7,8)
Life Point
How much time do you spend thinking about the Word of God? The Bible says that if you want to find wise answers to you problems and be successful and prosperous in all your dealings, you need to meditate on the Word of God day and night (see Joshua 1:8).
For most of my life, I did not think about what I was thinking about. I simply thought whatever crossed my mind because I did not know that Satan could inject thoughts into my brain. Most of my thoughts were either lies from Satan or just plain nonsense-things that wasted my time because they were not truly important. The devil was controlling my life because he was controlling my thoughts. Meditate on God's Word and you can push back the enemy. When you fill your mind with God's truth, you will find that your thoughts are thoughts of truth, freedom, victory, and peace.

Be Strong and Courageous
Only you be strong and very courageous, that you may do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you.
(Joshua 1:7)
God wants us to be totally free from fear. He doesn't want us to live in torment, and He doesn't want fear to stop us from confidently doing what He tells us to do. God moves on our behalf when we focus on Him instead of on our fears, when we listen to His voice instead of the voice of fear. When we have fearful thoughts or feelings, our enemy , Satan, is simply trying to distract us from God and His will for our lives. We may feel fear is various times in our lives, but we can choose to trust God and, if we need to, "do it afraid."
God spoke to my heart about "do it afraid" many years ago. when He told Joshua to "fear not," He was warning him that fear would try to stop him from doing what God wanted him to do. God told Joshua not to allow fear to control him, but to keep moving forward, strong and full of courage.
When we feel afraid, that first thing we should do is pray. We should determine to seek God until we know we have emotional and mental victory over fear. As we do this, we are focusing on God instead of on our fears. We are worshipping Him for Who He is and expressing our appreciation for the good He has done, is doing, and will continue to do.
Next time you face fear in your life, remember to be strong and full of courage and to keep moving forward in God's will. Even if you have to do something afraid, go ahead and do it while staying focused on God instead of you fear.
GOD'S WORD FOR YOU TODAY: Follow the voice of God, not the voice of fear.
