Joshua’s Courage Inspires Faithful Encouragement in New Devotional Messages

Two recent Christian devotionals draw on the biblical story of Joshua to urge believers to trust in God’s presence and act with courage. One message, delivered by St Andrews Church in Kowloon, highlights how Joshua’s confidence stemmed from God’s promise and encourages followers to grow courage through small acts of obedience, such as speaking truthfully or offering forgiveness. The piece also references John Paton as an example of sharing faith despite fear.

A companion devotional stresses that, like Joshua’s encounter before Jericho, God accompanies believers in every challenge. It cites the commander of the Lord’s army in Joshua 5 and Psalm 16 to remind readers that divine support endures, urging them to lift their eyes to Jesus for guidance and reassurance.
