After reading this verse, I recall that Joshua was chosen by God to succeed Moses to lead the Israelites into the land of Canaan. This was a very difficult task for Joshua because he had to face many difficulties and challenges, as well as powerful enemies. Against this background, God encouraged Joshua to be strong and courageous, not to be afraid or dismayed, and promised that He would be with him. This was God’s concern and love for Joshua and the Israelites. God hoped that in the face of difficulties and challenges, they could be unafraid, rely on God’s strength and promises, and believe that God would be with them and help them overcome difficulties and that God’s commission to Joshua would be completed. Joshua believed in God’s power and promise, and he truly relied on God. With God’s help, he led the Israelites to cross the Jordan River, attack the city of Jericho, and defeat all the Canaanite tribes, and finally successfully brought the Israelites to Canaan, completing God’s mission to him.

In real life, we often face many difficulties and challenges, such as the hardships of life, setbacks at work, the torment of illness, frustrations in marriage and all kinds of disasters. This can make us feel pain, fear and helplessness. But let us not forget that God could protect, care for and encourage Joshua and the Israelites, and that He can do the same work on us. As long as we always remember and believe in God’s promise and care, and rely on His guidance and help, He will be with us, give us faith and strength, and enable us to overcome all difficulties. Because God is a faithful God, and also our only support and help. It’s just as God says, “Be quiet within Me, for I am your God, your only Redeemer. You must quiet your hearts at all times and live within Me; I am your rock, your buttress. Have no other mind, but rely on Me with your whole heart and I will certainly appear to you—I am your God! Ah, those doubters! They surely cannot stand firm and they will gain nothing.” “It is very simple now: Look upon Me with your heart, and your spirit will immediately grow strong. You will have a path to practice, and I will guide your every step. My word shall be revealed to you at all times and in all places. No matter where or when, or how adverse the environment is, I will make you see clearly, and My heart shall be revealed to you if you look to Me with yours; in this manner, you will run down the road ahead and never lose your way.”
