Happy Wednesday!
This isn’t the time to give up on the year and coast. It’s the season to pray bold prayers, hear from Heaven, and move forward in faith and confidence. Our boldness is not rooted in our perfection. The source of our boldness is God’s Word, God’s good plan for our lives, and knowing that the Holy Spirit is helping us every single day.
In the Book of Joshua, Joshua ended up in a battle that he never had to be in. A situation presented itself and he didn’t pray about it. He did what he thought was best and then learned later that it was a big mistake and a missed opportunity. Has that ever happen to you?
Now, Joshua has to fight this battle because of the decision and promise he made. Instead of going at it on his own, he prayed a bold prayer and God gave Him a miraculous response. Let’s look at what happened in Joshua 10.
Joshua 10:12-14 (NLT) says, “On the day the LORD gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the LORD in front of all the people of Israel. He said, "Let the sun stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Aijalon." 13 So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies. Is this event not recorded in [The Book of Jashar]? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and it did not set as on a normal day. 14 There has never been a day like this one before or since, when the LORD answered such a prayer. Surely the LORD fought for Israel that day!”
Put Your Faith Into Practice
You don’t need the sun to stand still, but you do need God to get involved in your situation. Don’t try to do things on your own. Let God help you.
Pray this prayer, “Father, I believe you have a good plan for my life because you love me. I ask for your help in (name the specific area or situation you need His help in). Grant me wisdom and turn this situation for my good. Help me to finish this year strong and position myself to experience heaven on earth in 2027. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Carry this with you
God showed up for Joshua. He will show up for you! Live with confidence in Him.
