Nobody knows exactly why God did any of the things He did in the Bible. Know one even knows 100% sure if He really exists, but this is all in the freedom to believe as you wish.

In the case of Joshua's encouragement, God is said to be merciful and loving, so encouragement is an act of care, peace, and love, that He has faith in Joshua.

Where did Joshua son of nun get his courage?

In Joshua 1:1-9 God encouraged Joshua. God spoke directly to Joshua encouraging him to enter the promise land with the people of Israel. The words that God used were - "I will give you every place where you set your foot", "No one will be able to stand up against you", "As I was with Moses so I will be with you", "Be strong and courageous because you will lead these people to inerit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them". There were more encouraging words that God used to speak to Joshua so that he would have courage. The question I ask is why did God use these words? God chose His words carefully before speaking to Joshua. God would only use such words if He knew that Joshua needed it. Maybe Joshua was not sure of the task ahead? But the bible shows us that God encouraged Joshua. It is amazing how much God knows us and understands us. God knew what was going through the mind of Joshua. So God encouraged him. If there was anywhere that Joshua must have found courage it was in Joshua chapter 1 when God encouraged him. In verse 10 after God had encoraged Joshua - the bible tells us that Joshua got up and told the leaders of Israel to get ready for in three days time they would cross the Jordan river and take possession of the promised land. After God had encouraged Joshua - Joshua had the courage to cross over and take possession of the promise land. God gave Joshua courage.
