I read through Joshua 1-6 this morning and found that Joshua was commanded to find his courage in God, was told to look to see what the Lord was doing, and, then, join Him in doing it, and, when he obeyed, God fulfilled His Word and made Joshua’s purpose evident to all around.
Joshua carried with him testimonies of what the Lord had done (he and the twelve tribes). What are you carrying as a remembrance of what God has done for you? The purpose is for you to remember Him and for others to ask you why you have your remembrance as a tool of testimony.
Things got tough for Joshua, and you, but he still followed what the Lord had told him to do (chapter 5 is gruesome and odd but necessary).
Did you notice, at the end of chapter 5, that God presented Himself to Joshua due to his obedience?
This year is as we choose to obey what God has called us to do: stay away from the things God hates, cling to what God loves, focus our thoughts, actions, attitude, etc., on Him, and let His light shine through us. How are we doing?
I pray you see the same truths as Joshua did when he stepped into the Jordan River and found that the Lord is indeed good. I ask that God show you what He is doing in your area of influence. Be blessed today as you choose to bless Him.
