Hundreds of years ago God made the following commitment to His people. He is an excellent companion whose presence brings us contentment. He satisfies the desires of our hearts so that our love for money is replaced by our love for Him. When Joshua faced a new leadership challenge God spoke to him the following words of promise through Moses. Be strong and courageous.
Leadership can be an exceedingly lonely calling.
Joshua knew that since God was with him no one could stand against him. David drew to Solomon's attention the steadfast companionship of God. Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.
