I too was up at 5:00 AM. It's a beautiful morning which the Lord has blessed up with here in Indiana. The Sun is shining brightly now, with a very cool, brisk, breeze off of Lake Michigan. I LOVE Autumn! Pumpkins, Apple cider, and all the goodies that go along with this time of the year.
I spent approx. 1 1/2 hours reading and studying the book of Joshua. We are studying this in our women's bible study at church. I was a little hesitant to do this study, because I thought it would be all about history,which it is, but, it is so much more.
It is about Joshua being a picture or type of Christ in the old testament and how he led the people into the promised land. However, getting into the promised land was filled will bitterness and hardship, and they had to fight in battle and overcome all kinds of adversity to get into the promised land. This made me look at our lives today, how, our lives are difficult sometimes, and there are a lot of trials and temptations along the way, but, In the end, we love the Lord, and God is with us just as he was with his people of old, and he never, leaves us or forsakes us. He continually tells us to be strong and of good courage and we shall overcome, and we too shall in that day of days enter into that promised land of rest in Eternal Glory with our precious Lord and Savior! Oh! What a day that will be!
So, today My new friends, I want to encourage all of us to be "Strong" and of "Good Courage" stand fast in the Lord, trust in him and he will see us through whatever the day holds for us. For, The Lord our God is with us!
Love to you all in Christ,
Martie.
