“After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: “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. I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 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. 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. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.”
Joshua 1:1-6
Change is a constant in our lives.
I don’t know of anyone who would argue with that fact.
We all face changes.
Certainly, some of those changes are more significant than others, but inevitably if you are part of the human race you will be impacted by change in your life.
That being said, what then might make that transition time in your life a little less difficult?
Suppose, in the midst of change, you were able to rely on someone who is unchangeable?
Would that help?
Of course it would.
The truth is we have that someone in God!
He was about to bring the Israelites into the Promised Land.
It was, for them, a significant change from the forty years of wandering in the wilderness. God gave Joshua all the security he would need through this process of change when He said: “…As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you…” Even in the midst of the significant changes in your life, God is there.
Whether you ‘feel’ Him or not He is with you.
As you face change, as you face re-positioning, as you face turmoil remind yourself and encourage yourself with those verses.
He remains faithful!
