A Word Of Encouragement - From The Lord

Joshua 1:1-9
The Word of God is spoken to Joshua for his encouragement. Before we can speak the Word of God to others, the Word of God must be spoken to us.
"Do not turn from it to the right or to the left" (Joshua 1:5). We are pulled this way and that way. We must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. "This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth ... carefully observe everything written in it" (Joshua 1:8).
In the strength of the Lord (Joshua 1:6,9) - We must never forget this. without His strength, we are nothing. With His strength, everything changes. Life becomes new. The Holy Spirit is leading us on into God's future. We don't stay where we are. We move on to where God wants us to be.
"Joshua" = "salvation" - This points us forward to Jesus.
The land was given and had to be claimed - a picture of salvation: by grace through faith for good works (Ephesians 2:8-10).

May God's Blessing Surround You Each Day ...

God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).

What happens to us, Lord, when we turn away from You?

2 Kings 17:1-41 What happens to us, Lord, when we turn away from You? Everything starts falling apart. It may seem like we’re getting on well – but there’s an “emptiness” (2 Kings 17:14) at the heart of everything that we do. Having Jesus as our Saviour – this is all that really matters. there’s nothing more important than this. Help us to keep on coming to Jesus, to keep on enjoying “the fullness of life” that He gives to us (John 10:10),
