The great fame of Yahweh spread quickly through the land where God was leading Israel before God's people even approached its cities. The inhabitants of the land had heard about the great miracles that accompanied Israel, including the parting of the Red Sea when they left Egypt. They heard how Israel defeated famously strong kingdoms.
When you are facing situations that require courage, know that your God goes before you. His power and glory are on display for all to see, whether in the wilderness or in lands of plenty. Encourage yourself in your history with God. Build yourself up in the faithfulness of your Father. The same God who dried up the bed of the Red Sea for the Israelites to walk across is the same God who makes a way for you. The one who provided refuge to the Hebrew spies in Jericho will also provide shelter when you need it. He is worthy of your trust.
Father, you know my needs, wants, and dreams. As I lay them before you today and focus on you, I know you'll take care of every one. I'm going to start focusing more on the things I have to be thankful for than the problems that have weighed heavily on my mind. I want nothing to consume my heart more than my desire for you. The true riches of your kingdom are found in life with you.
