Joshua .. Crossing over!

We first read about Joshua in Exodus chapter 17 of the Bible. Here he leads the army of Israel in battle, against their enemies, the Amalekites.

As they are fighting, Moses, Israel's leader is on a mountain top, holding the rod of God high. This is a symbol of PRAYER. When Moses hands are held up, Joshua and the Israelites are winning the fight. But, when Moses gets tired and his hands are lowered, the Amalekites are gaining ground! Finally, two of Moses helpers, Aaron and Hur, seat Moses on a rock and one on each side, they hold up his hands till sunset, and Joshua wins the victory!!

This is a very helpful story, as it teaches us that God will give us VICTORY in every difficulty in life, through our having FAITH and bringing everything to HIM in believing PRAYER.

Can we ask you, "Are you struggling with the circumstances in your life at the moment?"

If the answer is, "Yes," can we ask you, kindly, "Are you spending time in prayer, before the Lord Jesus?"

The Bible says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds through Christ Jesus." PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7

The young soldier, Joshua, learned that he could win through with the Lord God.

You can learn this too, as we enter the new Millennium!

PRAYER .. "Dear Lord Jesus, I have been so anxious about __________________ . I come to You for help in this matter, knowing that You love me and care for me. Help me to get the Victory. In Your Name. Amen."
