Moses addressed the people of Israel, telling them everything the Lord had commanded him to say.

Go and occupy it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. Don’t be afraid! Don’t be discouraged!’

22“But you all came to me and said, ‘First, let’s send out scouts to explore the land for us. They will advise us on the best route to take and which towns we should enter.’

“But the Lord told me to tell you, ‘Do not attack, for I am not with you. If you go ahead on your own, you will be crushed by your enemies.’

Beginning today I will make people throughout the earth terrified because of you. When they hear reports about you, they will tremble with dread and fear.’”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to hear and obey your desire, give me courage. Keep me from fear and worry as I do your will, so your way is known. Be with me in all things and destroy your enemies before me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
