Have you ever been called to do great things for God? What would you consider a great thing? Who in your estimation is doing great things for God? Is there anyone like Joshua, the mighty man of God? What made him the fearless leader of the people of Israel?
God spoke in Joshua 1:2-3,5-9. "Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan... Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to Moses. No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left so that you may have success wherever you go. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it, for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
Do you want to be like Joshua? Do you want to do great things for God? The greatest thing you can do for God and yourself is to read and meditate on the word. Do you want success in the things you endeavor to do? The secret is in knowing the word of God. Not just the head knowledge that comes from reading it, but knowing it in your heart by studying it, meditating on it, and allowing the Holy Spirit to bring understanding. But even that is not enough. Once you gain understanding, you must do what it says.
The LORD bless you with choosing to be a mighty man or woman of God.
I love you,
Ruth
