All we need

We have all we need. 

For life. Godliness. And walking by faith in this day and age.

We’re given His Spirit. God’s Word. Prayer. The fellowship of believers. 

Every advantage.

Exhortation

Joshua receives the exhortation. “Be strong and courageous.” Hearing it loud and clear. Multiple times.

From the Lord. And from the people. (Joshua 1:6,7,9,18)

He’s stepping into leadership after one of the greatest leaders of all time. Moses. 

Certainly not for the faint of heart, this. Leading the multitudes. And entering the Promised Land.

Then. At the end of his life. He delivers the exhortation.

Sent ones

It hit me in a different way that day.

The gathering of family and friends to commission this latest group of sent ones. Newly trained. Now on their way. To places all over the globe.

It hit me when I saw the expressions. On parents’ faces. 

Pride. Joy. Grief. And for some—uncertainty. Perhaps, even anger. 

The time had come. For releasing their kids and grandkids. To travel across oceans and borders. Into a new and different life of serving in another culture.
