But the Lord your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion.

Joshua 8:1

What fears are you facing? What seems to be greater than what you have power to over come? What worry or fear keeps you awake at night? We face times in our lives where that which is before us seems so big and unattainable that worry and fear overtake our whole thought process. Imagine facing armies greater than you with reputations of being the best of the best. What are you to do? TRUST IN GOD. Facing trials is a part of life – Isaiah says “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” God is our power, strength, defender – do not try to do what you are facing on your own – Put it in God’s hands and believe in His sovereignty over all things.
