Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers…Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them." Notice Joshua's courage was never just for himself. Others would walk into promises only if he kept walking. Someone is waiting on the other side of your obedience. Who inherits something if you stay afraid?

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Thank You for noticing a reign that lasted only three months, and for naming even Nehushta his mother. Nothing in…Thank You for noticing a reign that lasted only three months, and for naming even Nehushta his mother. Nothing in my life is too brief or too small for Your record. You see the short seasons I think no one counts, and You remember them.
Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man." God says it twice. He knows how heavy that first word sits…Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man." God says it twice. He knows how heavy that first word sits in a man's throat. Ezekiel is looking at leaders with names and families, and the truth he carries will cut them. Is there something true you have left unsaid because saying it would cost you?
Lord, wash my heart. I've let certain thoughts settle in and make themselves at home, and I've stopped noticing how…Lord, wash my heart. I've let certain thoughts settle in and make themselves at home, and I've stopped noticing how long they've stayed. Clean out what I've grown comfortable with, and make room in me for something better.
What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you?"…What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you?" The one grieving with her runs out of comparisons. Her wound is "as great as the sea." He does not shrink it or explain it. He just sits with it and asks, "Who can heal you?" Sometimes that open question is the truest comfort you can offer someone.
They fought against Midian, as Yahweh commanded Moses; and they killed every male." The verse sits heavy, and it should.…They fought against Midian, as Yahweh commanded Moses; and they killed every male." The verse sits heavy, and it should. Don't rush past it. Go back six chapters: what began as a friendly invitation to a meal ended with twenty four thousand Israelite graves. Sin that seduces never introduces itself as an enemy. It comes smiling, offering food. What have you decided is harmless because it was kind to you?
