Lenten Devotional, Mar. 8

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

I’ve been lucky to hike many mountain trails. Sometimes we choose the paths we take; sometimes life chooses the path for us. Anytime we face something new, knowing that God is with us gives us courage and strength. His presence is confirmed with His sending of His son Jesus Christ, whose life and death overcomes all fear.

“Father, we pray to be reminded that by choosing the path You have laid before us, with strength and courage, we should have no fear as You will be with us.”
