God's promise

[Ms.Garnet]

...Iwill be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of good courage:... Joshua 1:5b -6a

Tonight DH & I began studying together for next week's S.S. lesson. The lesson is based on Joshua chapter 1 :1-18. We will be looking at Joshua the leader. The passage above comforted me & reminded me of God's love & goodness. We PW's along with our Pastor husbands are in a leadership position the seems tough sometimes ---but if we can remember this promise (from Joshua) our load will seem much lighter because we know we have the "Great I AM" undergirding us. I haven't been on board for awhile so I reread some of the posts. You ladies have the sweetest spirit and it just blessed me to go back & read your kind words to one another. I hope this is a good week for everyone.

Thank you for sharing this scripture with all of us! I have been having a rough time this week, and I definitely need to keep meditating on scriptures like this! I read something on another thread here that really stood out to me, as I believe I've been battling with some of these things that are not from God...I wanted to share it with you all:

Five Ploys of Satan


Binding Satan is always a matter of faith and prayer, yet it also helps to be aware of his strategies, such as the following:


Doubt - Tempts us to question God's Word and his goodness, forgiveness, and love.

Discouragement - Tempts us to focus intently on our problems rather than entrusting them to God's care.

Diversion - Tempts us to see the wrong things as attractive so that we will want them more than the right things.

Defeat - Tempts us to feel like failure so that we don't even try.

Delay - Tempts us to procrastinate so that things never get done.
