Is Joshua 1: 9 A Powerful Scripture?

Decent Essays
Joshua 1:9 is a powerful scripture; however, I can’t speak on it without including Hebrews 11:1 which states that “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. These two scriptures should give us all the encouragement we need to overcome any task set before us. God continues to provide us with the strength, support, will power, and determination to overcome any challenge set before us. As it relates to our business, we can look back over the scriptures and see where God is showing us that regardless of the path our business take we are to remain stable. God didn’t give us the spirit of fear, but that of a sound mind.

    The opening words of his book, “Life is a series of decisions” (Dr. Kent Ingle, 2013), accurately describes his view. Dr. Kent Ingle quickly denounces the idea that on should find themselves in a routine; he believes that God always opens new doors, even if they don’t seem to line up with what appeared to be the path. These doors, according to Dr. Kent Ingle, are God’s way of providing a call to adventure. With these calls, one has two options: they can say yes to the call or they can deny the call. Either way, the decision is their own.…
