Glorious promise

"No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you." Joshua 1.5

This same promise was also made to Abraham, Isaac, Israel and Moses. Now it was Joshua's time. In every age, the chosen of the Lord are assured of His constant presence. There is no jewel or treasure in the entire universe that can be more precious than this. His presence has been with all those who are with Him. But those who despise Him are lightly esteemed.

WAR

"Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident."      Psalm 27.3

David was a man of war and conquests because He trusted in his parent's God. He knew that God would never leave him alone. Confident is the key word in this verse. This is the kind of faith that pleases the Lord.
