Jos 1:5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
There are times I wish some of the heroes of the faith from times gone by were still with us. Yet, as God reminds Joshua in this passage, our God remains the same. He will be with us, as He was with those great spiritual leaders who have gone before us. He will not fail in our generation, He will not fail, He will prove faithful just as He has in the past. With God, we can face the future with courage.
