Count Your Blessings
“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
As Joshua led the children of Israel into the promised land it seemed that God had given them an impossible assignment – to conquer a foreign and hostile land with fortified cities and armies greater than their own.
They had to go forth only on the basis of God’s promise. They had to walk by faith and not by sight!
How did Joshua lead them to walk by faith?
He reminded them that God has never failed them. And he encouraged them to focus on the promises of God!
You too can rely on God’s faithfulness today! Are you in the midst of a crisis? Are high mountains facing you today? If so, be reminded of all the miraculous ways God has worked in your life in the past!
Even though we often forget our promises to Him, God will never forget His promises to us!
Let’s spend some time recounting God’s victories and determine to exercise faith for the trials we face presently.
