March 26: Joshua 23-24; Psalm 44; 1Corinthians 11

Not their power/Not their numbers

Scripture: Joshua 23:9 The LORD has driven out before you great and powerful nations; to this day no one has been able to withstand you. 10 One of you routs a thousand, because the LORD your God fights for you, just as he promised. 11 So be very careful to love the LORD your God.

Observation: Joshua was giving Israel his farewell message. He encourages them by recounting what God has done and he warns them of the dangers of breaking God’s laws. It was not their power, but their God who made them victorious over their enemies. It was not their numbers, but their God that sent the enemy running.

Application: My God’s presence is more powerful than my problems. His presence changes the odds to my favor!

Prayer: Mighty God, You are my God! Nothing is impossible with you! With you all things are possible! You are not tired or worn out. I count on you to work all things together for my good. Amen
