God Can Change Your Life
Joshua 1-2
Josh 2:10-11 We have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Re d Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed. 11 When we heard of it, our hearts melted and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.
DO YOU see how God’s reputation has gone before his people? God’s miracles in Egypt and in the desert gave his people victory, and they frightened all the nations who heard of them. How could they stand against a people whose God changed the laws of nature?
I’m thinking right now of someone who experienced a very deep brokenness in her life a few years ago. Her family split apart. Her health declined, her job was in jeopardy, her husband left, and now what could she do?
I suggested she open her bible and meet her miracle working God. He could part a sea to free his people. He could heal broken bodies and broken spirits. His power could raise his Son from the grave.
I offered that God could do miracles in her life—conquer her enemies and open her life to new hope and peace. But she wouldn’t go for it. She didn’t think it would help to read the bible, to get to know God. She didn’t trust he had prepared for her a Life of Promise.
I hope someday she’ll change her mind and trust her God. I pray she’ll follow him to the place he has already gone, waiting for her to follow.
Pause and Consider: God’s Word heals broken lives.
