Ok, so this is Day 1 of a SEVEN (7) day journey I’m on w/ a few close friends.  I don’t have permission from them to fully explain it…even if I did, I’m not quite sure I’d want to this early.  I feel like the context will make more sense in time…not so much in the moment.

Just know this is Day 1 of SEVEN and we’ve got some exciting days ahead!!!

Deuteronomy 1

Verses 29-33

“Then I said to you, Do not be in dread or afraid of them.30 The Lord your God who goes before you will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,31 and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place.32 Yet in spite of this word you did not believe the Lord your God,33 who went before you in the way to seek you out a place to pitch your tents, in fire by night and in the cloud by day, to show you by what way you should go. ESV

Joshua 1

Verse 3 “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses.” ESV

Verses 5-9 “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” ESV
