Standing On The Promise
Joshua 1:2-3 '[God said to Joshua]: "Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them -- to the Israelites. I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses."'
 When Joshua faced the Jordan River he knew that it was 'make or break' time. The people were watching him. Would he have the courage that Moses had to lead them forward? Would God bless him with the kind of miracle power he'd given Moses? Fortunately for Joshua, he didn't face the Jordan without a divine promise. He would lead the people over the river and have a great victory on the other side. God would show the people that he was the man to follow now that Moses was gone. God never issues a call without attaching a promise. The promise gives us the courage to push forward, to dare to go where we've never ventured before. So, when you face a major new challenge, an obstacle on the road to your destiny, don't despair. Look to God for a promise – or stand on the promises he's already made to you.
Prayer: 'Dear God, help me not to be daunted by the size of the challenges ahead of me today. Help me to remember that I'm called by you and that there are promises waiting for me on the other side of this battle.'
