Joshua 1:9 NASB "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified nor dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."I sat back and remembered! Today's verse is a command given to a young man who would lead God's people!  As the air began to smell like a fire, and the smoke filled the air, I thought back to my first fire as a rookie firefighter. I remember thinking to myself "this is crazy"! As I joined other men who ran into the building, I began to find the strength and courage to go in when others were running out. Sometimes God will call us and ask us to do the unthinkable, like going into a burning building. We will need to find the strength and courage found only in Christ and realize that God is right there with us. The world will call us crazy and maybe even brave when we go where God sends us. Let's not be terrified or dismayed but put our trust in God to do the unthinkable, the unnatural, and the bold things for Christ and lead His people! peace, tom
