The Courage to Stand Strong!
For our first BYD of the year, we discussed this years mutual theme: "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest" (Joshua 1:9). We talked about Joshua’s life and how he needed courage to lead his people to the promised land. We discussed how we also need courage to make a difference in the lives of others. At the end of the night, we committed to stand up in the following areas:
Be Strong: we will be strong by reading our scriptures daily and attending seminary (if we are old enough).
Of Good Courage: we will demonstrate courage by taking a stand, even when it is unpopular.
Be Not Afraid, Neither Be Thou Dismayed: we will not be afraid or dismayed, as we know that Heavenly Father will give us power, love and sound minds (refer 2 Tim 1:7).
For the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest: we know that as we stand in Holy Places that the Lord and His Spirit will be our constant companions.
