I’ve seen a word for the year and phrase for the year posts throughout the past couple of weeks and I wasn’t planning to jump on the bandwagon. But when I saw this scripture I said to myself, “this is it” (so on the wagon I go)…
My Scripture for the Year
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9, NIV)
I have SO many plans for this year, so many ideas that I’d like to put into motion. But I must admit that I’ve held back out of fear. Worried that I may fail, that I may be ridiculed, talked about. Worried that I just wasn’t good enough, smart enough, dedicated enough to see my plans through to fruition.
But I failed to see something so vitally important! He has COMMANDED me to not live in fear!!!
com·mand, verb ˌkuh-mand, -mahnd
to require authoritatively; demand
Be strong, Be Courageous, Be Fearless, Be Encouraged
This is a requirement, a demand, A MUST!!!
And to top it all off…
He said He’d be with me every step of the way!
If only I could put into words how the thought of that makes me feel :)!
May God get all the glory through what He blesses me to do this year!!!
Please stay awhile and browse around!!!

A scripture of the year is such a great idea! This verse is one of my favorites and a perfect reminder. God is serious about not being afraid and being courageous. He doesn't say it lightly. It really is amazing what a wonderful God we have!!
