Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Having worked for the government for many years, I know that a COMMAND means DO IT! Coming from the Lord, a command means even more to me - I want to be strong and of a good courage and knowing that the joy of the Lord is my strength I can keep on keeping on!
