joshua 1:1-9 ready...set...go!

jim garrity   Take me to 5-Day Devotional




In this exploration of Joshua 1:1-9, we're reminded of God's unwavering support for His chosen leaders. As we delve into the story of Joshua taking the mantle from Moses, we see how God prepares, equips, and encourages His servants for seemingly impossible tasks. The passage emphasizes three key spiritual lessons: God appoints humble servants rather than self-proclaimed bosses, He equips leaders with His word and spirit, and He continually encourages them through reminders of His past faithfulness and future promises. This narrative invites us to reflect on our own faith journey. Are we allowing God to use us as His servant leaders? Are we immersing ourselves in His word, meditating on it day and night? Let's embrace the strength and courage God offers, trusting in His presence as we face our own 'Jordans' and 'Jerichos.' Remember, the God who was with Moses and Joshua is the same God who is with us today, calling us to be ready, set, and go forth in faith.
