Remember, Joshua? He had staying power. He was one of the courageous spies Moses sent into Canaan and who wasn't intimidated by any giant he may have encountered (Numbers 13). He eventually became Moses assistant, because of that attitude. Joshua 1:9 commands us to be strong and courageous, to not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord our God is with us wherever we go. That means we can be calm amidst a raving storm. It doesn't matter what happens, good or bad, we can handle the pressure and not blow up. With staying power (resilience, bounce-back, strength, push-through, determination...we can withstand anything, because God is with us. And when God is with us, who can against us? Nobody.
