Joshua 3:7- "And the Lord said
to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they
may know that I am with you as I was with Moses."
After the death of
Moses, Joshua took on the role of leading the nation of Israel into the Promised
Land. He was faithful in following and serving Moses and capable and courageous
for the task, but God knew that was not enough. In order to be truly effective
the people needed to "see" that Joshua did not just inherit the
position because he was next in line, but because it was his God-ordained and
appointed time to be in the lead position. Joshua did not ask God for favor nor
did he command the people to listen to, obey and respect him. He simply kept
doing what he had been assigned to do and God made the royal decree and backed
it up with signs and wonders.
It’s Your Time! You have been faithful, on point, serving and
doing God's will; often without recognition, reward or even compensation. You
might have even taken some hits because you chose to stand on the side of
righteousness; but alas your time is now. God is working right now to exalt you
so that those who might doubt will have no recourse. This is your season...
this is your time. All that you have done is not in vain; but don't try to
force your hand; let God work on your behalf, if you want to be frustrated put
your hands in it -if you want it fixed let God handle it. Trust God - you
have sacrificed and been faithful - it's your time.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Don’t be
distracted – stay on your purpose! Be
blessed! Dr. JoAnn
