Returning to the will of God

RESUMEN: The story of Joshua teaches us that when we return to God's plans, we find safety and solid ground. We must remember that God's promises come with sacrifices, consecration, holiness, and obedience. The church must also remember that its plans should come from God's vision and be based on keeping His word. We may face tests and trials, but refocusing on God's word and obeying His commands will lead us to victory. We must always remember to praise and appreciate God after victories and make His word the foundation and Jesus the center of our spiritual journey.

When we return to God's plans, the Christian life is safe and solid. Joshua learned his lesson, humbled himself before the Lord (Joshua 7.6) and refocused his mission to accompany the people as a military and spiritual leader. Today we do not tear the clothes or cover the body with sackcloth to show the shame that our sinful acts bring. But the Lord does not ignore the repentant heart that declares the arbitrariness of its acts. Jesus is the path. To return to the path recognizing that we are weak and that we need him so as not to lose the sense of divine direction, he is intelligent and wise.

The church makes evangelism plans to fulfill the Great Commission, but often forgets that mission comes from God and is from God. The church plan starts from his vision. The strategy rests on keeping and keeping your word. Then, and only then, can the triumph be complete.
