Stronger

For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.


Do you judge how you are doing by looking at the year, month, week, day, hour, or minute? At this point in life, I must break it down to smaller units. Today the morning was rough and I could accomplish very little. I did stay up for four hours at the computer, about one and a 1/2 hours on my bed, sorted some clothes, took a shower, made an easy meal, and am now on the computer again. Was today a good day?
Breaking down my day to smaller units, I would definitely say this evening has been a very good time - not the whole day - this evening. When I start to get discouraged at what I can't do, I will break down the day into hours and minutes. I will focus on His promises and my relationship with the Lord.
Be strong and courageous,
for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land
I swore to their ancestors I would give them.
Be strong and very courageous.
Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you.
Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left.
Then you will be successful in everything you do.
Study this Book of Instruction continually.
Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it.
Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
This is my command—be strong and courageous!
Do not be afraid or discouraged.
For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:5b - 9 NLT

The only thing that I need to do is take each day minute by minute and hour by hour. God is with me and wants me to be strong, be courageous, and listen to what He has said and is saying. How are you evaluating your life and what are you doing with your time?
