  1. What does this show me about God?

    • God gives Joshua the same promise four times: I will be with you. What does that tell you about God?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • God tells him to be brave because God is with him, not because Joshua is tough. What is the difference?
  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What is one thing you are scared of this week that you will do anyway?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who could you say "be strong and brave, God is with you" to this week?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, you told Joshua to be brave because you would be with him, not because he was strong. Thank you that you go with me. Help me be brave today.
