Deuteronomy 1:21 Reflection

See, the Lord your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. — Deuteronomy 1:21 NIV

Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged. — Deuteronomy 1:21 KJV

Bible Verse Reflection

A word of encouragement is essential at the beginning of a new adventure especially when the journey requires your leadership. Joshua does not need to be the a second chair. He’s no more the back-up to Moses. He is the all-pro Moses. He is now able to be the leader. The people he is leading have only experienced the leadership style of the legendary Moses. What kind of leader will he be? He will lead by trusting in his faith in the promise of God as well as without worry or doubt.

What is the reason for this? The real leader God’s people hasn’t changed at all. The Lord is still God. His word remains true. His promises remain reliable. His might remains all-powerful.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, as I take on more responsibilities and challenges, remind me of Your promises to calm my anxieties. Increase my strength, and guide me in your direction.

Let the triumphs in which I take part forever bring praise and glory to You. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
