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).

Guidance From "A Man Of Macedonia", Guidance From God

“During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’ After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the Gospel to them” (Acts 16:9-10). Paul’s guidance came through ” a man of Macedonia.” His guidance came from “God.” We look at the human situation. We ask the Lord, “What do You want me to do?”
