A young boy named Riley started a fight with Avery on the school playground after a soccer match. The teacher broke it up, and both boys were sent to the principals office. Later, Avery said, And of course, like always, we both got in trouble. But he shared that he learned a lesson: God is always with us, even if we get in as much trouble as this.
The nation of Israel was in big trouble. Yet the Lord promised the nations new leader: I will not leave you nor forsake you (Josh. 1:5). Joshua was taking over leadership of the Israelites after Moses death, just before they were to enter the Promised Land. Trouble was on the horizon with numerous military campaigns against their enemies coming up (8:3; 9:1-2). Without Gods presence, they couldnt begin to acquire the land.
Joshua had a strong faith in the Lord, as seen when he spied out the land of Canaan (Num. 14:6-9). But God graciously gave him the reminder as he took over the leadership role that he could be courageous because of His presence. He promises the same to His children today (Heb. 13:5-6).
Its a comforting lesson for Gods children of all ages to know: The Lord is always with us. Even when were in as much trouble as this.
Read: Joshua 1:1-7
