Daily Bible Reading - Saturday - April 10th

Well the time finally came for Moses to go to the ultimate promised land and for Joshua to take over.  Did you notice as reading the first part of Joshua what the Lord was stressing to Joshua?  It kind of hit me, the Lord said several times to Joshua to be strong and courageous and for him not to get discouraged.  Do ya think the Lord was trying to tell Joshua something right off? Why is Joshua gonna need to be strong and courageous? I guess we will find out soon enough.  Finally the people were able to cross the Jordan and go posses the land that the Lord had promised them.  Isn’t that something that when Joshua sent the spies into the land to spy it out that they found the people had already heard about them and what the Lord had done for them?  The people of the land were full of fear because of what the Lord had done for them.  Wow, all those people full of fear. This is truly gonna be interesting to read.

Proverbs sort of goes along with what the Lord was telling Joshua,  a righteous man is cautious in friendship…in other words be careful who your friends are, take wisdom when making friends, the way of the wicked leads them astray, be careful of your friends, don’t let them lead you astray.  What a good word for making friends and being careful what you do with them.

"And the God of all grace…will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast"
(I Peter 5:10, NIV)

Have you experienced destruction in your past? God wants to completely restore you. He wants to make you strong, firm and steadfast—He wants to make you better than before!

Sometimes, when you are in the midst of difficulty, you can't quite see the restoration God has prepared. You can't quite see how He can turn it around for your good. But that's when you have to take a step of faith and trust that He is the God of restoration, and He is working behind the scenes on your behalf!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for being a restorer and a rewarder of the people who seek You. I trust that You are working behind the scenes in my life, ready to bring Your restoration. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
