Presence

It's encouraging to hear from God, to know that He is with you always, to know that He is speaking to you, to know that He is confident in you, to know that He will never depart from you, to know that He loves you.

I was reading in Joshua today and I want to put up something that absolutely stuck out to me. No real reason for this post other than that. Enjoy..

Joshua 1:5-9 (NASB)
5 "No man will {be able to} stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.
6 "Be strong and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7 "Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go.
8 "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.
9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
