Moses has died and it's time once again for the Israelites to go in and take possession of the land promised to Abraham so many years ago. To be successful the Israelites must forget the past and move forward into the future. To do that they must be strong and courageous. From Joshua 1:1-9

There are times in our lives when we have a great vision for the future. ANd then there are times that the vision falls flat. What happened? Did we do something wrong? Are we all wrong? I thought I was doing something good but it's all fallen flat now. These questions and more plague us as we try to figure out what happened. When our vision fails us it is an opportune time to turn to God and ask Him what He would have us learn from the situation. If we can learn that the most important thing to God where we are concerned is that our faith in Him grow even deeper, it will cast everything thast we go through in a different light. Joseph faced this very problem. Listen along as we look to Genesis 39:1-20 and see the Death of a Vision that Joseph faced.

In this passage God tells us that He has set a plumbline, a standard that is to be met. If we understand God's standard, or plumb line, we will realize that it sets boundaries for us. Boundaries with the intent to keep us safe and in which we have great liberty. Listen as we look at this great passage from Amos and think about God's plumb line for us.
