Day 17: Courage Verified: God Verifies Joshua’s Leadership
Welcome: Being out on your own can bring many potential anxieties. Surely, when someone significant leaves your life, things can get scary fast. Today we see that God continues to speak tenderly to His people.
Background: Moses is dead and has transferred leadership to Joshua, but what’s next? Are things going to be the same for Israel under Joshua’s leadership? Will God be with Joshua as He was with Moses?
Read: Joshua 1:1-19
Highlight: “No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will never leave you or forsake you.”
You? Whatever God’s called you to, He’s given you the power to accomplish. Go forward in strength and the faith of the Lord. If you are the one stepping into a new role, how can you demonstrate your faith in God?
Pray: God, you are the same yesterday, today, and forever. You never change. Please lead me in whatever endeavor you call me to and I will follow, knowing you are with me. Thank you for calling and confirming others who are to come after me.
