Devotional Reflection
At the start of a new journey, it's important to say something positive, especially if the journey requires you to take the lead. Joshua is no longer in the back seat. He is no longer Moses' all-pro backup. It is now his turn to be in charge. The people he leads have only ever been led by Moses, who was the best leader ever. How will he guide? He will lead with faith in God's promises and without fear or giving up! How could this be? Because God's people still have the same real leader! God remains God. His word still holds up. You can still count on His promises. He still has all-powerful strength.
Prayer
God, as I take on more responsibilities and face bigger challenges, please remind me of Your promises, calm my fears, make me more determined, and lead me according to Your will. May You always receive glory and honor from the victories I take part in. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
