Daddy Daughter Conversations

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”(Joshua 1:9 ESV)

As I was reading the above verse I heard the Holy Spirit say don’t lose courage. So many times we forget how valuable we are to Daddy that he has to command us back to our proper place. He tells Joshua “HAVE I NOT COMMANDED YOU?” Now to some that would be a question and even in this verse there is a question mark behind it. But it’s not really a questions it’s a reminder to us and Joshua…The reminder that Daddy has command over us and his command holds power not the actions, plans, or even the plots of the enemy or our fleshly response. After he reminds Joshua he give the “Do Not Be” instructions do not be frightened, do not be dismayed, and then he give us that reminder again “For the LORD your GOD  (Your Daddy) is with you wherever you go.” That’s it. DADDY is with you no matter what level, season, situation, circumstance, decision, movement, response, action, disappointment, hurt, or unknown DADDY, is there and he has give you the courage to respond and overcome whatever you may be going through. Never lose courage! You have something greater on your side that the world has no authority over. As we continue this journey call life know that you have been equipped with all the tools that you need to be success as sons and daughters of Daddy. There is nothing that can conquer us in the courage and presence of our Daddy.

Prayer: Daddy so many times we find ourselves lost in the lack of courage because all we see and feel is defeat. But Daddy you have reminded us that we are commanded by your words to be strong and courageous, not frightened or dismayed by anything or anyone. We rest in your commandment to have courage and we know that in you we win. We will never look at life the same. We will never take on the heart of the defeated, but he heart of the victor, rejoicing in the glory of you presence and the assurance of your love. We realize that in hopeless moments our response is not that of depression and defense, but that of surrendering. So Daddy we surrendering our discouraged moments to you, we let go of  our defeated moments, we say good-bye to our way and we lean only to the understanding of word and the wisdom of your ways. In Jesus Name. AMEN!
