With Moses, the Israelites had lost sight of their vision of God and became focused on the giants before them. Their sin was a result of their small view of God. They saw Him as unable. The Lord now tells Joshua that He’s already given them the promise of the land before them, although it was not yet in their possession. We too must accept God’s promises by faith. Unbelief leads to focusing on our circumstances instead of God. The promise of entering God’s rest still stands, but you will fail to enter in if it’s not accepted by faith or we don’t persevere by faith. The work of Christ has been finished on the cross--will you persevere by faith to enter into this rest? What is the extent of your vision of what God will do in and through you? Your church? Your family? Will you stretch your vision? Or will you lose sight of the vision by looking at your circumstances and the giants? Take your eyes off of yourself and your giants. See the possibilities of grace available. The fear of man led the Israelites to unbelief, but no man can stand in opposition to God. With God, we are fully equipped to stand against anyone. God gave us the promise of His presence with us. There is no greater assurance than the presence of God. Our confidence must be in God’s power and presence, not in our own ability. What power do you base your confidence in? The same faith in God that leads to confidence, leads to obedience to God’s commands. We are told to meditate on the law of God. This is a means of grace through which God transforms us. Allow God’s resources to be applied to your needs. Look to God for the fulfillment of the vision--this is the only way fruit will be produced in your life.
