A Command! 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 wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 Who’s that standing by the wall As you go through the gate? Do you feel so very small? Do you almost faint? Do you see a shadow there With every step you take? Does a sign say, “Be aware!” With every turn you make? Is Fear pressing down on you? But what did God command? “Be courageous. Be not afraid For you are in my hand.” Is there a place where God is not? Does He ever leave us? God is there wherever you go In Him we must put our trust. Fun Fact: God will never leave us. Questions: Why should you not be afraid? (It is a command of God.) Why can’t a shadow hurt you? (It’s just a shadow.) Marilyn Smith 8 | DOZ Magazine | April 2017 «
