The Courage to Obey

"Therefore, be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, lest you turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left." - Joshua 23:6

In his farewell message, Joshua commands obedience to God's Word without compromise. I see a principle in his words: it takes courage to obey God's Word. It takes courage to adhere to pure scriptural truth amidst the prevalence of false teachings. It takes courage to resist temptations and the devil's deceitful schemes. It takes courage not to compromise with the world and sin; it takes strength to persevere in the race of faith.
