SCRIPTURE: Joshua (NIV) 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! What could only be seen at first as a danger, ends up working out for my good.
God has often changed my problems into blessings.
When my efforts only seem to make things worse, I can quietly read His Word and let Him work. When my words seem to fall on deaf ears, I can be quiet and let Him do the talking. His words may be pushed aside, but people cannot turn a deaf ear to God. In one way or another, His message will get through!
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. You are ever fresh! As you promised, I can count on you to work all things together for my good. Amen

On Facebook: Today’s SOAP from Pastor Leon
The SOAP team in West Africa has finished up in Burkina Faso. They left behind over 5,000 new believers and 150 cell groups!!! Each cell group has an Arabic Bible. They also installed several computers and printers which will be receiving the SOAPs every day. A brother will be translating them into Arabic. Tomorrow they will be starting in another West African country. Pray for them. 😊
