Something from the first chapter of Joshua. If you recall, he was Moses right-hand man when the children of Israel were wandering in the wilderness before God allowed them to go into the Promised Land.  Now Moses had died and Joshua was their leader. "No one will be able to oppose you as long as you live, for I will be with you just as I was with Moses. I will not abandon you or fail to help you." ~ Joshua 1:5 LAB * Bible Commentary:  "Joshua's new job consisted of leading more than a million people with a strange new land and conquering it. What a challenge -- even for a man of Joshua's caliber! "Every new job is a challenge. Without God it can be frightening. With God, it can be a great adventure. Just as God assured Joshua he would be with him, he is with us as we face our new challenges. "We may not conquer nations, but every day we face tough situations, difficult people, and temptations. However, God promises that he will never abandon us or fail to help us, regardless of how we feel. By asking God to direct us, as Joshua did, we too can conquer many of life's challenges." ***
