Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will not fail you, and I will not forsake you.—Joshua 1:5b (LEB)
Gracious God and Father,
Thank You for the promise that You gave to Joshua—that assurance that You would reward him with Your never-failing power and forever-abiding presence with him, no matter what might come, because he put his faith in You. Thank You that the same promise is extended to me—because I believe.
Help me not to forget the
miraculous power that You displayed—through Moses and again through Joshua—as they
listened to Your instructions, willingly obeyed those instructions in faith,
and expectantly watched as You brought them victory after victory over the
challenges that they faced.
Remind me that, as Your own
dearly loved child, this same promise, to never leave me nor forsake me, was
extended to me through Jesus Christ—when I made the choice to truly believe and
follow Him—and that it changes everything about the challenges that I face.
Help me to prove that I believe
this promise—by the way I think, the way I talk, and in everything I do—that You
would be glorified in my life, and so others would come to faith in Christ, and
enjoy the blessing of this great promise.
Thank You for the promise that You gave to Joshua—that assurance that You would reward him with Your never-failing power and forever-abiding presence with him, no matter what might come, because he put his faith in You. Thank You that the same promise is extended to me—because I believe.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
