Joshua 1β8; 23β24

It had taken several generations, but the Lordβs promise was about to be fulfilled: the children of Israel were on the verge of inheriting the promised land.
But in their way stood the Jordan River, the walls of Jericho, and a wicked but mighty people who had rejected the Lord (see 1 Nephi 17:35).
On top of that, their beloved leader Moses was gone.
The situation may have made some Israelites feel weak and fearful, but the Lord said, βBe strong and of a good courage.β
Why should they feel this way? Not because of their own strengthβor even Mosesβs or Joshuaβsβbut because βthe Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goestβ (Joshua 1:9).
When we have our own rivers to cross and walls to bring down, wonderful things can happen in our lives, because it is βthe Lord [who] will do wonders among [us]β (Joshua 3:5).
