Day2 100108 Joshua Chapter 1

Key Verses --> 1: 3, 1: 7-8, 1: 9, 1:17

Yet another chapter with so much to learn. Joshua 1:3 tells me of how God is faithful in His promises. As He promisedso He gives. It indeed is good to know that we have a God that does not make empty promises. And it is something that has hugely and greatly encouraged me today because i know He has a plan for me. He has a plan fr each one of us and that being His promise, i know He will keep it. I know then that it is in His plan for me o be here and me being here is a part of Him fufilling His promises in my life.

in Joshua 1: 6-8, these are indeed timely verses for me today, especially after what my PC said about not all of us will be making it through OCS, i was really quite scared. but these verses tell me to be strong and courages and to at the same time follow His word and His laws.Timely indeed because i knw im prone to wanting to please men. but these verses remind me that even though this process will be tough i have to be strong and courageous but at the same time live my life to please God. Indeed i pray that this is what i will do.

This leads me to Joshua 1:9 where i know i have to be strong and courageous because God is with me. if my God is for me, no one can be against me. i have been reminded once again to put all my worries for OCS and the process of going into and through OCS into His hands and allow God to bring me through! then and only then can i say that the bar rank on my shoulders is His and not mine. i pray for the constant awareness of God and the constant awareness that i am indeed declaring His name.

Joshua 1:17 talks about obeying the authority that God has placed over you. by this i know that the commanders in platoon 2 were placed over me fo a reason. be it to build up my dicipline(which i know i lack) or my character. i will submit to the authority for all authority is given by God. and i will sumbit to the authority given and placed over me because i know God has a reason and purose for it. God has been good to me

Lesson of the day: God is always faithful.. live life for God and only God!
