Big Shoes BIG Faith!!

Here is your stone!! "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9 NIV). This is God speaking to Joshua. What was Joshua facing? Well, he was given the role of leader. He was replacing Moses! No worries right? I mean Moses had only survived the killing of babies when he was one himself, spoke to God in a burning bush, watched 10 plaques occur as he was told, lead God's people out of captivity, parted the Red Sea, and was the one chosen by God to write the 10 commandments, and a few other things as well. So what would Joshua have to worry about? Easy shoes to fill. I am sure there had to have been some doubt, but as God speaks to Joshua, it was His Faith that spoke through him and all of the people began to follow him. As a leader in any capacity, are people seeing your faith? How big is your desert? How about shoes you may be asked to fill? Let faith be what fills it all up. No Fear - Just Faith!!! Live it out!!
