mike boots   Take me to 5-Day Devotional



In this study of Joshua 1:10-18, we're invited to reflect on the spiritual journey of the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. This pivotal moment in biblical history serves as a profound metaphor for our own faith walk. Just as Joshua commanded the Israelites to prepare for crossing the Jordan River, we too are called to ready ourselves for the challenges and opportunities God places before us. The flooding Jordan represents the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in our lives, yet we're reminded that with faith in God's promises, even the impossible becomes possible. The commitment of the two and a half tribes to support their brothers in battle speaks to the importance of unity and mutual support in our faith communities. As we contemplate this passage, we're challenged to consider: Are we prepared to step out in faith when God calls us? Are we willing to support our fellow believers in their spiritual battles? This message urges us to be 'strong and courageous' in our faith journey, trusting in God's guidance and provision as we face our own 'Jordan Rivers'.
