Be Strong and Courageous

What a great night last night as we continued our series on Joshua and his life of courage and strength found only in God. We have concentrated on Phil 4:13. “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” -Philippians 4:13. Wow, what a bold statement!! All things? What does that mean for you and me? What is it that has seemed impossible for you to overcome? What is it that has seemed impossible to bear? What is it that has seemed impossible, period? Have we looked at it through this verse before? Man, it says that we can do this thing through Him who gives me strength! Praise God! Give it to Him! Last night we took a look at the giants in our lives. Just like the story of Joshua and the explores who were sent into the Promise Land only to report that there were great giants there and that although it was everything God said it would be there was no way they could overcome the giants! They actually got together and wished they were back in Egypt or even dead instead of facing these giants! That is crazy! Or is it? How many times have we encountered giants in our lives and felt the trembling and fear. Be strong and courageous! God can and will deliver you!
