Remember What God Has Done

Encouragement for your daily walk with God 

I wonder what went on in the mind of Joshua as he led the children of Israel into the promised land. Think about it; God gave them, according to all earthly standards, an impossible assignment — to conquer a hostile land with fortified cities and well trained and suppled armies, which, by the way, were much larger than their own. All he had to go on were God’s promises. As he moved forward, it would be by faith and not by sight.  

How do you tell your untrained, understaffed, under supplied army to move forward in faith? Well, Joshua reminded them of the past—that God has never failed them. He told them not to forget what God had done. 

Dear Christ follower, you too can rely on God's faithfulness! 

What challenge are you facing at the moment. A crisis? A sickness? Whatever you are facing, be sure to remember all the miraculous ways God has worked in your life in the past. While it’s true that we often forget our promises to God, He never forgets His promises to us! Let's do this together: let’s spend time recounting the victories God has given to us. If we do, we’ll be inspired to exercise faith for the obstacles we face today.

Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed. Joshua 23:14
