... been one of my favorite Bible characters, so much so that we named our second son by that name. I believe that Joshua (the one in the Bible) can be such an inspiration to us by the things that God commanded him and how he walked those things out in his life. Can you imagine trying to fill the shoes of Moses? Over and over in Joshua 1 God tells Joshua to be strong and courageous...I believe He is saying those things to us. As a review here are the points God gave me to give to you comparing our lives to Joshua!
1. God wants us to put our past into perspective! Joshua 1:1-2(NIV)
2. God wants us to realize He has a place for us! Joshua 1:2-4(NIV)
3. God wants us to know that His power and presence will go with us to defeat our enemies! Joshua 1:5 (NIV)
4. God wants us to know that He will keep His promise to us! Joshua 1:6 (NIV)
5. God wants us to have true prosperity! Joshua 1:7-8 (NIV)
6. God wants us to take possession of what He has promised! Joshua 1:11 (NIV)
7. God wants us to be passionate about being obedient to Him! Joshua 1:16-17 (NIV)
A.W.Tozer said, “The true follower of Christ will not ask, "If I embrace this truth, what will it cost me?" Rather he will say, "This is truth. God help me to walk in it, let come what may!" What I am saying about 2013 is that this is God’s truth and with His help we can and will walk victoriously in it!
