Joshua 1:9 ESV
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
As New Year’s Day dawns, Joshua 1:9 calls us to begin the year with courage rooted in God’s presence. The command to be “strong and courageous” is not based on self-confidence, but on the promise that the Lord goes with us wherever the year may lead. Facing new challenges and unknown paths, we step forward with confidence, knowing God’s faithful presence surrounds every moment of the days ahead.
