Joshua 3:5, “And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”
The Bible is not simply a record of what God used to do. The Bible is also present-active-tense. This is present-day truth about what God is doing and will do in your life if you do this one thing, which is to move forward in faith. The book of Joshua is about claiming the victory that God has promised. Trusting God, which means obeying God, as believers fight from not for victory. Every human being in this world is either an overcomer or overcome. The only way to be an overcomer is to be redeemed by the shed blood of Jesus Christ. 1 John 5:4-5 says, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” If you have trusted in this truth, be aware that the Lord did not save you to tuck you away in a sheltered corner of comfort and ease. He rescued and redeemed you to make you a soldier who will move forward by faith to glorify the name of your Captain, to call others to serve under His banner, and to claim your rich inheritance in Jesus Christ. Let’s get in formation and move forward together for Jesus!
