I looked up the dictionary meaning of command and it says its an order that you have to follow, as long as the person who gives it has authority over you. In today’ scripture God gives us a commanded to Be brave and strong! He says we should never be afraid or discouraged, why? Because He is the Lord our God and will always be with us to help us wherever we go or whatever we do. Are you needing to be brave or strong, or are you feeling afraid or discouraged?

I am in a situation where I have honestly felt so discouraged and I was asking God why do I have to go through this but this verse of scripture in Joshua 1:9 is such an encouragement when I remember that God has promised to be with me always and at all times. My heart then responds with gratitude to Him for in Him I am bold and strong, In Him I do not need to fear or be discouraged. #day27 #30daysofthanksgiving
