And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land: (Joshua 8:1)
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: (1 Peter 1:14)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Returning to the will of God

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. Read more...
