Our time here on earth does not come with any guarantees. We must learn to embrace and live life in the moment, making the most of our time in the present. The things that are necessary should be tended to--the things we need to say should be said--the things God has called us to do should be accomplished. We must press forward today, because we do not know what tomorrow holds for us.
Israel, had been sitting on their hands for years...40 years. They had been promised a land, but had been turned away from the possession of said promise by their own lack of faith. Moses, himself, never made it into the promised land and with his death the next generation of Israelites had an opportunity to finally and forcefully take what God had already promised and prepared for them. The Lord gave a message to Joshua: "Be strong and full of courage, for the Lord your God is with you..."
There are some questions that we need to consider: "What has God called you to do--what promises had He made to you--and why...O, why have you not made a move to possess all that God has prepared for you?" It is time--high time to stop sitting on your hands and step out in faith. God's word is as true for you as it was for the Children of Israel. "So, be strong and be full of courage, for the Lord your God is with you." Today is the day you need to step into God's destiny and see what the awesome God of possibilities can do!
Prayer: "Dear heavenly Father, You are awesome in power and with You, all things are possible. I am admittedly weak, but You are my strength. Replace my duplicitous heart with a heart that is committed and true. Replace my worries and doubts with real faith. Replace my procrastination and laziness with intentional action. Remind me of Your promises and cause me to walk in the center of the works and destiny that You have prepared for me. May I be strong and full of courage knowing that You are with me! Amen"
