Forget Me Not: In the Face of Responsibilities

AUGUST 7, 2021

No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.
Joshua 1:5

 Recommended Reading: Joshua 1:5-9

Moses had led the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt and oversaw their forty years of wilderness wanderings. But now Moses was dead (Deuteronomy 34), and it was time for Joshua to assume leadership. Joshua had watched Moses lead for four decades, but he was faced with new responsibilities.

How often in life do we have new responsibilities thrust upon us, often with little or no experience? We become a spouse, a parent, an employee promoted into a new position, the chairman of a committee in our church or neighborhood—life is filled with new responsibilities. God says to us the same thing He said to Joshua: Don’t be afraid. Be strong and courageous. I will not leave you nor forsake you (Joshua 1:5-9).

Are you facing new responsibilities in your life? Or helping a child or friend get ready for a new task? God is with those who need His help.

Pray, and let God worry.
Martin Luther
