Getting Ready-21 Days of Prayer

DAY 2 OF 21

I don’t know about you, but there is something different about this command to be “strong and courageous” considering it comes from the Old Testament. As new covenant believers, we live FROM the freedom, strength, and courage of Jesus and what he accomplished at calvary. 

Joshua didn’t have that luxury. He had to live TOWARD the freedom, strength, and courage of a Savior that was promised. Can you imagine the faith that this took for not only Joshua, but the entire nation of Israel, and every hero of the faith we read about throughout the Old Testament; many of whom are mentioned in Hebrews 11?

I think there is something to be learned from this faith that comes from living TOWARD something. No doubt, we should live FROM the resurrection power that Jesus accomplished, but Revelation tells us that Jesus is coming back. That is something to look and live TOWARD. We have a lot to accomplish before that glorious day. There are a lot of people that God wants to reach before then; and He wants to use you. Don’t let 2021 just be a FROM year. Live TOWARD the second coming of Christ. Love people recklessly. Pursue things passionately. Be strong and courageous. And remember, He’s not just with you now, but as Deuteronomy 31:6 says, he goes with you.

Challenge: What is one way you can live toward Jesus in 2021?

Prayer: Lord, help me live with a sense of urgency toward the lost in 2021. As I live TOWARD Jesus coming back, help me to share in the Gospel of where I’ve come FROM through the blood of Jesus. Amen.
