Joshua 1:8-9

A good friend of mine told me how Joshua 1:9 kept coming up for her in different things she had read this week and how it was encouraging to have God show up like that.  So many times he shows up in the little things to give us reassurance almost proof of his existence and also his love for each of us.  Funny thing was then I began seeing it too.  
8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Be strong and courageous...do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.  This gave me hope.  I have been feeling a bit discouraged lately about sending out an email to almost 65 churches letting them know about the post abortion ministry that we have and how we want to help the women in their congregation.  That was nearly two weeks ago and I have received one reply.  Very discouraged.  But I need to remember that it is God at work here and that everything happens in his timing.  Most of all I need to remember not to be discouraged, but be strong and courageous for he is with me wherever I go.
