"Be strong and courageous," God instructs Joshua four times in this first chapter to do this. This isn't something that God is telling Joshua that he is going to do, but something Joshua is to demonstrate. God was going to do his part, but Joshua had to have the courage and the strength to do his. God wouldn't ask Joshua to do something that wasn't possible with God's help. Personally, I believe that God will give us strength, but we have to be willing to use what we have before He will give us more. What we can't see that God supplies, but if we aren't willing to have the faith and courage to follow God, then we can't expect God to help.
