Today’s Devotion - Joshua 1:9 (NIV):
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
These were the words with which Joshua was charged, just before the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into the land that God promised for them.
Today’s Comments: Does not God command us to be strong and courageous, today? If He is at the center of our activities, then He will be with us always, including those times of trouble or times of need. However, if we fail to make Him the center of our lives, then we cannot expect His support.
The history of the nation of Israel demonstrated that when they responded to God’s love, they were blessed, and when, in their apostasy, they ignored God and tried to operate on their own devices, they suffered. The nation of Israel is an example to us of what happens to a nation that displeases God. How can our nation, or the Episcopal Church, fare any differently, if they continually ignore God or His word?
