God's Emphasis

"One of the greatest mistakes we make in our spiritual journeys is circumventing the process of accomplishing our God-given dreams by trying to achieve those dreams in a manner that violates God's character. Joshua was about to lead God's people into war, yet God's emphasis was on the quality of his character. Be strong. Have the courage to do what is right regardless of circumstance or consequence. Live a life of conviction."

Joshua 1: 6-9, NIV

6 "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. 7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; 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 terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
