Thursday Addition

As I opened my email this morning, I prayed for the right verse for me to pop up.  It did! Thank you, Lord Jesus!  I needed that reminder.

Have I not commanded you?

Be strong and courageous.

Do not be afraid;

do not be discouraged,

for the LORD your God will be with you

wherever you go.”

~Joshua 1:9~
