Crossing Into...

 

Do you feel as if your life is at a standstill? Nothing seems to be working out?

You’ve prayed, obeyed, cried out, reached out, fasted, rested, affirmed, declared the Word, marched around the walls of your personal Jericho. You’ve done just about everything you could, yet your situation has remained unchanged?

Know that when you’re faced with challenges to your faith and to your courage, the Lord, your God is with you. He is your support, and He is watching over you.

During times like these, depend on God for the wisdom to make wise choices and sound decisions.

Carefully and prayerfully observe and meditate upon God’s Word to build up a foundation of confidence in God.

Understand that obedience to God is the key to victory, while disobedience to God only results in utter defeat.

With God at your side, you are sure to be more than a conqueror, and He will cause you to walk in victory and cross into your land of promise.

So beloved, get ready to cross into the land God is about to give you. 

Beloved, God will never leave you nor forsake you.

Beloved, be strong and courageous. Be strong and very courageous.

Beloved, be careful to obey all the law; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.

Beloved, keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 

Beloved, be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

[adapted from Joshua 1:2, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9 NIV]

 

Amen †
