(picture taken by nathanbhughes)this morning i just finished my joshua study, that has endured most of this year. it has been exactly what i've needed this year.
as both the book and the study come to a close, it is interesting that in the last chapters of joshua, the people of Israel renew their covenant with God and REMEMBER what the Lord has done (in bringing them out of Egypt, in fulfilling what he had promised, and in bringing them to the promised land (and being the one who went before them in their battles)).
as i read the last little bit this morning and was reflecting, it made me REMEMBER as well how God has shown his faithfulness to me this year, this semester, in drawing me to himself, in the last few years, etc., and it also made me think about how HE WILL be faithful today and in the weeks and years to come. hmmm... :-) good stuff to start the day with.
this helps me to rest at ease with the things I can't control, don't know how they will play out, or the things that I find it hard to let rest in the Lord's hands instead of my own. it also causes me to respond in praise, faith, and the desire to follow Jesus with all that I am. ah... it's nice to be reminded that i am safe and secure.
enjoy the day!
