The Art Of Neighboring: Week ThreeSample

God has promised to be with us, even and especially when we are taking risks in obedience to him.
Pray
Holy Spirit, strengthen my faith. Let me live in awareness of your presence.
Read
After a delay of forty years, God’s people are finally ready to enter the promised land. God promises their leader, Joshua, that he will be with him.
Joshua 1:5-9
Reflect
Before Jesus ascended to the Father, he echoed God’s words to Joshua. “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age,” he promised (Matthew 28:20 ESV). That promise holds true for Jesus’s followers today.
Respond
How does knowing that God is with you encourage you? How can reflecting on Jesus’s life, as recorded in Scripture, making space for praying to him and listening to him, and participating in the life of his church help you to love others?

About this Plan

Have you been afraid to reach out to a neighbor? What if you offend her? What if he laughs at you? What if she isn’t interested in getting to know you? Loving others can seem risky, even intimidating. But God’s Word trains us to be bold, generous, loving neighbors.
