I hope everyone's week is off to a good start. For Manic Monday, we will focus on "Be Strong" from Joshua 1:9. What does it mean to Be Strong?? Let's look at the hebrew word and definition
Be Strong - (chazaq; Strong's# 2388): courageous, valiant,
manly, strengthen, established,
firm, fortified, obstinate, mighty.
Being strong is about being courageous, firm, established and so much more. Being strong in Joshua 1:9 is not about physical strength, but about spiritual strength. The more you read God's word and develop your realtionship with Him, the more you become spiritually strong, which in turn the stronger your faith in God becomes.
With that being said, you are able to Be Strong by the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of Jesus. Also, you will become more established in God's word and what it says. When trials come your way, you would be able to stand firm because you know without a shadow of doubt that God is and will be with you wherever you go.
"No man shall be able to stand before you
all the days of your life; as I was with Moses,
so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you."
(Joshua 1:5)
