One-minute read.
Joshua reminds the Israelites how the Lord humiliated the kings of their enemies in their defeats. Because God fought for them, the Israelites enjoyed victory. What the Lord did once, He can do it again. Remembering the Divine Protector’s strength helps the people move fearlessly forward.
Writing down the miracles God works for you helps you remember. The Lord does miraculous things in our lives every day, although we take most of them for granted. I noticed the rising sun as I moved boxes from our garage into the attic above it. Brilliant oranges and yellows shined brightly on my face, warming it. I felt compelled to stop and praise God for another miraculous day.
Elevation Worship’s praise song “Do It Again” has a mighty chorus:
I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again
You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again
Whenever I sing the words, God’s Spirit moves and empowers me because I believe the Lord can do it again.
Spend time today thinking about how God worked in your life. Meditate on the miracles you have experienced. Then remind your fears of the Master you serve, and move forward boldly knowing God can do it again.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for all the miracles You work in our lives daily. Please help us remember how You’ve cared for us in the past and live fearfully, knowing You can and will do it again.
IJNP. Amen
