Joshua 1:9
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
What of Today’s Verse…
Never alone. What a promise. As Psalm 139 emphasizes later, Joshua hears first hand. God will go with him, and us, through all the seasons of life, through all our ups and downs, through temptations and triumphs, even through death. So we can take courage and feel his strength. We are not alone!
Let Us Pray:
O God, who is and was and is to come, thank you for being there and staying there when all others forsake and leave. You are the one constant in my life, which is so full of change. Help me become more steadfast and faithful in my commitments and relationships to honour you and to learn more about you. Through Jesus I pray. Amen
Words of Wisdom
GOD’S WORLD
I am living in God’s world, which is supported, balanced, and grounded in love.
We are each enriched by the love of our Creator—for we are living in a world that is supported, balanced, and grounded in love. From every corner of God’s world, life emerges, and we are granted a glimpse of the beauty of God’s creation.
Each day we experience the balance of time—the day representing our time for activity and the night, a time for rest. And through the process of birth, both in nature and in the world of ideas and creativity, we experience the Creator before our eyes and in our hearts.
Â
We are one with our Creator and with one another. As we participate in life in loving, giving, and supportive ways, we impact and influence our world. Through God’s loving support and presence, we are essential contributors to the world in which we live.

“The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it.” — Psalm 24:1
