Joshua 1:9 reminds us that true courage does not come from confidence in ourselves, but from trusting God’s presence and faithfulness. As Joshua prepared to lead Israel into the Promised Land, God called him to move forward in obedience despite fear and uncertainty.

In this first Treasures in the Text post, we look at Colossians 1:16 and the powerful truth that all things were created through Christ and for Him. This verse reminds us that Jesus is eternal, supreme over all creation, and worthy of our trust, worship, and attention.

God does not simply love His people from a distance, He delights in them. Scripture reminds us that His love is steadfast, faithful, and unfailing. Even when we feel weak, unworthy, or overwhelmed, God’s love remains. In Christ, we are welcomed, cherished, and held securely by a Father who rejoices over His own.
