Even Ifنموونە

Have you ever been in a season where God flips everything you thought you knew right on its head, and you just didn’t know how to feel? That’s probably exactly what Joshua, the author of this verse, felt. After the death of Moses, the Israelite nation’s leader, the Lord asked Joshua to take over what He had prepared for Moses to do. Joshua became the leader of a whole nation and would be leading them to cross the Jordan River. For Joshua, you can imagine how overwhelming that big of a change could be. God promised Joshua He would provide everything he needed to cross the river and the land that would become their home. All He asked was that Joshua trust in Him and not let the situation discourage him. And God does the same for us.

All you have to do is trust in His plans. He uses the change you go through to change what is within you! This means changing your heart and how you see things, just as He did for Joshua.
