We have all opposed You at one time or another, and yet You never gave up on us nor turned Your back on us. By Your grace, we were called to You and to Your purposes, just as You called the Apostle Paul. And Your desire is to make us witnesses of the things we have seen and experienced----the mercy and grace that have led to our own personal conversions. Lord, how grateful we are that You pursued us and gave us chance after chance to receive the beautiful gift of salvation that You offer.
Lord, now we ask that You make us not only Your disciples, but Your followers. Help us to care enough about our fellow man to be concerned about their eternal destiny as well. Help us to be ministers and witnesses of Your love and Your truth.
Father, hide our military men and women in the shadow of Your wings. We know that they are frequently in highly precarious situations. Cover them with Your feathers and under Your wings may they safely trust. We thank You for giving Your angels charge over them.
Bless Your people, Israel, Father and may there be plentiful laborers to enter the fields of harvest so that all souls may receive Your salvation.
God of grace, make us instruments of Your peace and Your love. There is much to do before our Saviour’s return. Help us Lord, to participate actively and prayerfully, that we may hasten the day. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Please join us in prayer.

When actors and actresses make a movie, it’s the director who sees the “big picture” and the overall direction. Actress Marion Cotillard admits she didn’t understand everything the director was doing in one of her recent films. She said, “I found it very interesting to allow myself to be lost, because I knew that I had this amazing guide. . . . You abandon yourself for a story and a director that will make it all work.”
I think Joshua could have said something similar about the director of his life. In today’s Scripture passage, the newly commissioned leader of Israel is standing at the threshold of the Promised Land. More than 2 million Israelites are looking to him to lead them. How would he do it? God didn’t give him a detailed script, but He gave him the assurance that He would go with him.
God said, “I will be with you. I will not leave you” (Josh. 1:5). He commanded Joshua to study and practice everything written in His Word (vv.7-8), and He promised to be with Joshua wherever he went. Joshua responded with complete devotion and surrender to his amazing Guide, and “not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken” (21:45).
We too can abandon ourselves to our Director and rest in His faithfulness.
Amen.
