When Joshua took over from Moses to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land, it was a huge assignment.
But God gave Joshua this promise:
Be strong and courageous… Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go – Joshua 1:9
The Israelites were starting a new chapter of their lives in the Promised Land. Joshua had a big shoes to fill – taking over from Moses – leading a new generation of Israelites. It was Joshua’s obedience that gave him the courage and strength to lead God’s people, knowing that God is with him.
WEEK 12 Theme: Commissioned to God
This week, we will choose to live intentionally, aligning our daily actions with who God has commissioned us to be. God demands our obedience when he commission us with His plan. There is no step-by-step plan, or guarantees, or perfection conditions – just His perfect plan.
We can choose to stay comfortable or confused, or stuck – or we can go where we’re called by God. We don’t need more preparation, or more signs. We just need to say “Yes” and move towards God’s plan, knowing that God is with us whenever He commission us.
Weekly Intention
This week, make a decision to follow Jesus wholeheartedly and take action in obedience to our divine commission.
As we celebrate Holy Week this week, let us prepare our hearts to embrace the death and resurrection of Jesus. Just as Jesus commissioned His disciples after His resurrection, we are also commissioned to be His disciples to do His will.
Seek God for discernment on where He is sending you to in this season of your life. Let go of everything that is holding you back. Stand firm in your conviction.
Go because God is with you.
