John 13 

 

1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

 

2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

 

3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

 

4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

 

5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

 

6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

 

7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

 

 

 

 

The Unknown 

 

 

Isaiah 55

 

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

 

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

 

 

 

 

How do I respond to the unknown?

 

 

 

I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will only make sense in reverse. 

— Philip Yancey

 

 

 

God Knows

 

 

 

Jeremiah 1:5 — “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

 

 

 

Matthew 10:30 — But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

 

 

 

Psalm 1:6 — For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

 

 

 

Psalm 147:4-5

He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them. Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite. 

 

 

 

Isaiah 40:28 — Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

 

 

 

Psalm 142:3 — When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk they have secretly set a snare for me.

 

 

 

Job 23

 

8 “But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him.

 

9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.

 

10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

 

 

 

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. 

— Corrie Ten Boom

Philippians 3

 

13 Brothers, I do not count myself to have attained, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 

 

14 I press toward the goal to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

 

 

 

 

Have you ever felt stuck?  

 

 

 

Steps to becoming unstuck:

 

1. They have to want to get unstuck. 

 

2. What are they holding on to? 

 

3. What do they need to release?  

 

4. Are they willing to endure the discomfort of dislodging?  

 

5. Can they take the pressure of the pull to freedom? 

 

 

 

Joshua 1

 

1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 

 

2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 

 

3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 

 

4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 

 

5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. 

 

6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.

 

7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 

 

8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 

 

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

 

 

 

 

 

After…

 

 

 

I want God to speak.

If we fail to accept "what is" then we stay stuck in "what was" and it will impede our movement into "what could be.”

 

 

 

Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.

— Benjamin Franklin

 

 

 

God reminds Joshua of his purpose. 

God reminds Joshua of His presence.
