Joshua 1:7 ESV
Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
Joshua 1:7 is a call to courageous obedience rooted in God’s Word. As Joshua prepares to lead Israel after Moses’ death, God does not emphasize military strength or leadership skill. Instead, He commands Joshua to “be strong and very courageous” by carefully obeying the law God had given. True strength for God’s people is not found in confidence in ourselves but in faithful adherence to His instruction. When believers remain anchored in Scripture—neither drifting to the right nor to the left—we walk in the path God blesses. Courage in the Christian life is often quiet and steady: choosing obedience, trusting God’s guidance, and believing that His way leads to lasting success.
