Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."  (Joshua 1:9)

The one fact of living in the 21st Century, is the reality of problems, in our daily living! Through loss and chaos and Pandemic issues and violence and unrest and evil situations that abound, we, as Believers, are to press on despite the issues and problems! Joshua was presented with a dilemma, in that, Moses, the Great Leader was dead, and he was, now, the Leader, and the future was uncertain and the path to take was rocky, yet Moses was dead, but God is not! Joshua was faced with the task of leading his people into the “Promised Land,” and to follow the leading of God Almighty! Friends, we have the same blessing and the same challenge, today! The past is the past, and we are to look to the future with Hope and with a sense of urgency, as we follow Christ and serve Him! We are to press on, as we claim His Promises for our future! Keep Looking Up and Forward! We are to press on with the assurance of His empowerment and His Amazing Grace that will enable us to move forward, while praising Him and walking in His Almighty Presence! God told Joshua to “Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed…” He has given us the same call! I praise God that He is my Rock, my Shield, my Power for Living, my Guide and Enabler! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
