As I Was, so I Will Be

No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.
Joshua 1:5

When we are very young, doing something for the first time can seem scary: attending a new school or jumping off a high diving board. What makes it easier is for someone we trust to say, “I’ll be with you!” The same is true when we are adults: getting married or starting a new job.

Recommended Reading:
Hebrews 13:5-6

When Joshua was starting a new “job,” he had every reason to be nervous—his job was leading an entire nation of people into their new homeland and getting them settled. But God reminded him, “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you.” Joshua had been Moses’ “assistant” during the nation’s wilderness wandering and had seen how God had directed and provided for Moses. Knowing God would do the same for him gave him every reason to be “strong and courageous” (Joshua 1:6, 9, NIV).

We start something new with God each day. Remembering that He has been with us in all our yesterdays gives us strength and courage about our tomorrows.

Who brought me hither will bring me hence; no other guide I seek.
John Milton

As Good as Done

Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.
Joshua 1:2-3

If someone includes you in their will, your inheritance is as good as done even though it may be years before you receive it. Words spoken with authority before the fact ensure that what is spoken will take place.

Recommended Reading:
Joshua 6:1-5

That was the case when Joshua prepared to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. Before Joshua and the people crossed the Jordan River and entered into the land, God said He was giving the land to them. Even though God said it before it happened, it ultimately took place just as He said it would. It happened again before the Israelites captured Jericho: “I have given Jericho into your hand” (Joshua 6:2). When God makes a promise about something in the future, His promise removes all fear. We can be certain that what He has said or what He has called us to do, will be accomplished.

What has God called you to do? His calling removes any reason to fear the future.

Nothing is more offensive to God than disbelief of His promise.
Matthew Henry

Armed by Prayer

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Ephesians 6:18, NIV

A centurion in the armies of Rome commanded a cohort of eighty soldiers; they were considered the backbone of the Roman army. Centurions are mentioned several times in the New Testament, two by name: Cornelius (Acts 10:1-8) and Julius (Acts 27:1-6). Centurions received orders through the chain of command and conveyed them to their soldiers.

Recommended Reading:
Philippians 4:6-7

When Paul used a Roman soldier’s armor to illustrate the Christian’s spiritual armor, he did not mention a centurion. But in the verse immediately following his description of spiritual armor, he exhorted the Ephesian believers to be diligent in prayer—to be alert and pray continually for all the saints. Just as a Roman soldier depended on his commanding centurion for direction and strategy, so Christians need to depend on their Commander for daily guidance. Prayer “in the Spirit” is how we stay in touch with God who guides us and strengthens us to be victorious in spiritual warfare.

As you prepare each day to engage in victorious Christian living, begin with Spirit-led prayer as you put on the whole armor of God.

I live in the spirit of prayer...and the answers are always coming.

Seasons Change: Stability
OCTOBER 24, 2026

NEW!
Listen Now
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Hebrews 13:8

Recommended Reading: Hebrews 13:7-16
For centuries, travelers crossed oceans and deserts using the North Star. The stars around it seem to wheel across the sky night after night, and the seasons change from spring to summer to autumn to winter. Yet Polaris remains fixed, providing a point of reference for those trying to find their way.

Perhaps God designed it that way to remind us of the stability Jesus Christ brings to our lives in every season and circumstance, no matter where we are. Every single thing in this universe—both seen and unseen—is changeable and changing. But God says in Malachi 3:6, “I am the Lord, I do not change.” And James 1:17 adds, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”

If you’re entering a new season of life, enter it with the One who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Man at his best is but a creature of eclipses and changes, fits and starts, ups and downs, high tide and low ebb, but the glory of God shines with a fixed brightness.

Pray Without Ceasing

Be happy in your faith at all times. Never stop praying. Be thankful, whatever the circumstances may be. If you follow this advice you will be working out the will of God expressed to you in Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, PHILLIPS

Isaac Watts, the London pastor and hymn writer, wrote, “There is such a thing as correspondence [communication] with heaven and prayer is a great part of it while we dwell on earth. Who would not be ambitious to correspond with heaven? Who would not be willing to learn to pray? This is the language wherein God hath appointed the sons of Adam, who are but worms and dust, to address the King of Glory, their Maker.”1

Recommended Reading:
1 Thessalonians 5:16-22

In our preparation for the battle, it’s important to realize God gave us a secret resource: prayer. Prayer is a direct link to our Lord, and we are to pray without ceasing. While this doesn’t mean we are constantly praying, it does mean that we consistently leave the lines of communication open, walking with God in uninterrupted fellowship.

Be alert and be ambitious to correspond with heaven.

Prayer is a sacred and appointed means to obtain all the blessings that we want [need], whether they relate to this life, or the life to come.
Isaac Watts

The War Is Won

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
John 16:33

What if an army knew the outcome of a battle before it even started? What would such knowledge do to the confidence of the soldiers? Before the army of Israel attacked Jericho, God told Joshua, “See! I have given Jericho into your hand” (Joshua 6:2). The battle was over before it ever began; God had won the war for them.

Recommended Reading:
Romans 8:35-37

Such is the case in the spiritual war that is currently playing out. Satan has been opposing the work of God since before creation. Genesis 3:15 hinted at the final defeat of Satan, and the resurrection of Jesus proved to be the harbinger of the final victory to come. But even before His death and resurrection, Jesus said, “I have overcome the world.” Though the Resurrection was the turning point, there are still battles and skirmishes taking place between Satan’s forces and God’s people. If we stand firm, clothed in the armor of God, we can win every spiritual battle.

Do not fear the enemy’s attacks. Be confident that in Jesus Christ you have overcome the world.

There is no holiness without a warfare.
J. C. Ryle
