We’ve all experienced loss in our lives. 2020 has brought us a greater than average amount of loss. In Joshua 1:1-9, Joshua has just experienced the loss of his leader & friends, Moses, the loss of his last 40 years, and the loss of his routine. God comes to him in the midst of loss and fear of the future to promise. God, through His covenant presence & covenant word, ensures that Joshua will be strong & courageous.
