“Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them.7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do." ~Joshua 1:6-8 NLT

So... courage is founded in the WORD. At least that is God's instruction to Joshua. He challenges Joshua in a time when he needed God most to commit himself to the WORD... to the teachings of TRUTH!

God challenges Joshua to STUDY it... to MEDITATE on it... to LIVE it and he will find the COURAGE he needed for the humongeous task that he was now facing of leading the people of Israel into the Promised Land. Moses had just died and now Joshua was charged with the role of leader for this mission that God was sending His people on and in order to do that Joshua would need to have COURAGE and STRENGTH because he would face many difficult and challenging situations!

In life many of us face our own difficult and challenging situations and the STRATEGY would be the same as God's prescription to Joshua. 

STUDY the WORD... MEDITATE on the WORD day and night... and LIVE the TRUTH revealed!

In other words... LIVE LIFE according to the PROMISES of God and the challenges will look differently than the might without the lens of TRUTH!

Sounds pretty simple to me!
