What’s holding you back?

Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

What’s holding you back?

Is it fear based?  You know fear of failure…  Fear of what others might think or say… Fear of succeeding… Fear of not pleasing someone… Fear of moving forward…

God told Joshua not to be terrified or discouraged. 

Terrify:  to make someone feel very frightened or alarmed; to coerce someone to do something by using threats.

Discourage:  to prevent something from happening by making it more difficult or unpleasant; to make someone feel less motivated, confident or optimistic.

Instead God said, “Be strong and courageous.”

Strong:  have the physical strength needed to exert considerable force; having the necessary emotional qualities to deal with stress, grief, loss, risk and other difficulties.

Courage:  the ability to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action.

NOW is time for you to advance!  You can do it!  Why?

the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go…

Praying for you…
