God's timing is always perfect. He is never early nor late, but always right on time. We look at God's perfect timing in Jesus' birth to help us find the miracles in our own moments each and every day.

Our lives are full of choices and things we commit to. As Joshua challenged the Israelites to decide who they would serve, he also challenges us to choose who we will serve today- the things of the world or the eternal things of God.

When we listen to others, we must always put it against the truth of God's Word. Caleb knew that who he listened to made all the difference in how he approached life!

In this world, we will have trouble and Joshua teaches us how to be strong in the battles.

Following instructions matters, especially when the instruction giver is our Creator.

In order to experience the blessing, we must go through the pain of spiritual circumcision, and until that takes place, we aren’t ready for the blessing. But after the pain comes healing and a new encounter with God.

We need to remember all that God has done for us, lest we forget in the days ahead.

In addition to being strong and courageous and having faith to belief, we must also have a heart that follows God. In the good times and in the challenging times, who do you follow?

Rahab's story is our story. It is a reminder that nobody is beyond God's reach and God can use whomever He chooses to fulfill His purposes in the Kingdom. Be strong and courageous!

The story of Joshua presents us with several lessons for our own journey of faith. In the first chapter, we learn that our strength and courage come through our obedience to the Lord.
