“Our greatest failure is not being rejected, but failing to try because we fear rejection. The path of missionary work is bound to be filled with storms, but only through the grace of the Lord can we overcome the mountains.”

Hubert McWilliams · The Challenges of Missions

Scripture

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

Reflection

This passage reminds us that we should not shrink back from the challenges and difficulties of missionary work out of fear. God commands us to be strong and courageous, to bravely take steps of faith. No matter how difficult the circumstances, God's presence will never abandon us, giving us the strength to overcome the storms. Through the Lord's grace, we can overcome our fears and steadfastly walk on the path God has called us to.
