Called and

EquippedJoshua 1:1-9

How are we to approach a new season of life?

V.2: “Moses My servant is dead.”Often something must die before God’s new thing emerges.Your calling is unique without compare to those who have gone before you.

three natural defaultsDefault One:Using the failures of the past as an excuse not to face the challenges of tomorrow.We grow more comfortable with past dysfunction than future promise.

three natural defaultsDefault Two:Making peace with present dysfunctions rather than confronting them.

“Faith never knows exactly where its being led, but it knows the One doing the leading. Faith is hearing God say, ‘Go,” but having no idea where it’s being led…

“Faith that is sure of itself is not faith, but faith that is sure in God is the only faith there is. True faith is heroically flinging itself in reckless confidence in God.”

Oswald Chambers
