From Joshua 1:8-9:  “This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it.  For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful.  I hereby command you:  Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Just as Joshua’s steps trusted in God

Knowing always, He’d faithfully be there

Filled with everlasting strength’s courage

Taking time daily, spent in prayer

In days ahead, fresh hope breathes with each step

Trusting in Jesus, walk alongside Him

Filled with mercy’s lasting righteousness

Worshipping our Lord with every hymn

Life-stretching outcomes mold another step

Believing in Jesus, faithfully trust

Filled with His witness, love-inspired grace

Praising promises, never to rust

Spirit’s divine hand leads each daily step

Acting in accordance with trusted God

Filled with everlasting strength’s courage

Overcoming evil’s false facade

Faith-forming obstacles block every step

Walking forward, trusting always in Christ

Filled with mercy’s lasting righteousness

Receiving Lord’s redemption, high-priced

From Hebrews 12:1-2:  “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God.”
