COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS

Joshua could have been frozen by fear or commanded by courage. He said, Get ready, in three days you will cross this Jordan and take this land that God has given you. Courage is contageous; when a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened." Billy Graham. Zion lies before you! Go take it!"On the threshold of this high enterprise the Lord appears to his servant and says, “As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” When God’s people come into fresh positions they shall have fresh revelations of his love. New dangers will bring new protections; new difficulties, new helps; new discouragements, new comforts; so that we may rejoice in tribulations also, because they are so many newly-opened doors of God’s mercy to us. We will be glad of our extremities, because they are divine opportunities. What the Lord said to Joshua was particularly encouraging, and it came precisely when he needed it. Great was his peril, and great was the consolation of that word from the Lord of hosts, “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” SPURGEONSongs; Good Grace, HillsongTurn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, HillsongMy Confidence, Iron BellHe Leadeth Me, Sovereign Grace Music
