Today we start on a new adventure. God led Moses from the burning bush to Pharaoh, to the Red Sea, to Mt. Sinai, then finally to Mt. Nebo across the Jordan River from the Promised Land. Unfortunately, Moses would never enter the land of Canaan. Why? Because Moses disobeyed God’s orders once at Meribah where he hit the rock instead of talking to it like God told him to. The other time was at the border of the Promised Land, where God told them to go ahead in, that He would be with them. But, Moses sold out to the people and sent in the 12 spies. They didn’t trust God then, nor when the spies came back and only Joshua and Caleb trusted that God could protect them. Because of that mistrust, the Hebrews spent 40 years wandering in the desert until that mistrusting generation was dead and a new generation got to enter the Land that God promised to their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Now, with Moses dead, the leadership role transfers to Joshua. He was Moses’ right hand man since Mt. Sinai. He was with Moses on the mountain and saw God.
The Book of Joshua is used a lot to teach leadership. It also teaches us to trust God. No matter what we encounter in life, if we trust God, He is bigger than the biggest giant, bigger than the most fortified city, wiser than any politician or king, and more powerful than anything Satan can possible throw at us.
This starts an adventure for the Israelites entering the Promised Land and for us as we witness God’s power and learn to trust Him, and put Him first, in our lives. Let’s dig in…
It’s time to GET RIGHT WITH GOD!
Jesus didn’t suffer torture and die so we could have religion! He died so He could have a Relationship with YOU!
If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly…
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
