All of us struggle at times mustering the courage we need in life. God’s instructions to Joshua when he was called to succeed Moses give us timeless truths to help us deal with debilitating fear and discouragement.
If actions speak louder than words, then God is always speaking. Prayer teaches us to listen. We sit with God in our present, and we trust him with our future, because of his faithfulness in the past.
When life feels out of control, what are we to do? In Mary’s song, The Magnificat, we discover not only what can stabilize us, but what can fill us with soul-satisfying joy.
