Who Are We to Trust?

Joshua 1: 3  “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.” (NKJV)

Good Day Men,

In the early days of Joshua and during the time he assumed the leadership responsibility from Moses (at the time of his death), we see great challenges before him.  We know from the book of Joshua and the many battles that he fought, that he worked to do what God had called him to do; yet, God was faithful to His promise.  However, Joshua had to be involved, he had to be proactive in God’s calling.

I was talking with a good friend of mine yesterday, and he brought up the point that stepping out and serving God meant that we would be involved in a lot of work.  No more Sunday afternoons on the sofa watching sports, or Monday night football without purpose (invite a friend, saved or unsaved).  He discovered that answering God’s call added great joy to his life and gave him purpose in doing what God had called him to do.  So, what is our purpose?  To take the land which God has given us.  That land can be the ministry that God has entrusted us with the responsibility of, it can be a person that He has placed on our hearts to pray diligently for, or praying for a circumstance for God to be a part of and reveal Himself in a miraculous way.  Either way, the important thing to understand is that where God guides, God provides.

God knows the outcome and He has involved us for a reason we may not clearly see.  When God has us working on an issue or situation He has directed us to, remember when we are in the depths of His assignment, He is the one who mans the periscope and guides us to victory along the way.     

Key Thought:  Trust in the Holy One.  He will see us through, His promises to fulfill.

Each day has its many assignments, all from God above. Place yourself in His hand and He will surely show you the way.

Prayer:  Dear Heavenly Father, Help me to be attentive to Your call in my life, trusting You for the outcome all along the way. In Jesus name I pray, Amen

May God richly bless us as we continue to seek His will, and His way, through His Word.

Have a GREAT Day!!!

In Christ,

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
