DAILY REFLECTION

“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.”
1 Corinthians‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭

Stability in faith empowers believers to face life’s challenges with unwavering confidence in God’s promises.

Joshua, chosen to succeed Moses, led the Israelites into the Promised Land with boldness and trust. He was one of the most exceptional military leaders to spearhead the seven-year conquest of Canaan - not by might alone, but through steadfast faith in God’s guidance. Alongside Caleb, he stood apart as one of the only spies who believed victory was possible through divine help. His courage wasn’t just strategic - it was spiritual. He risked his life for the sake of his people, trusting that the same God who walked with Moses would walk with him. He refused to let fear or discouragement derail his mission, embodying a leadership marked by conviction, resilience, and deep reliance on God. His life is a powerful model of faith-driven leadership: courageous, determined, and anchored in God’s promises.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14 is a timeless exhortation mirrors the life of Joshua and the heart of Christ - strength rooted in truth, expressed through love. It’s a call to lead with conviction and compassion, to stand firm yet tender, just as Jesus did.

“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."
