God the Promiser;
Let Us Seize The Moment
Joshua 1:5B & 9
No-one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses,
so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
(NIV)
