me too and sometimes I still fall into that thinking.
I remind myself often that I'm never good enough for God, he loves me so much that his goodness was made for me on the cross as a gift.

The Promised Land

God has a promised land for you to take!

I sat across the table from a man in midlife misery. He described his life with words like stuck, rut, and stalled. He’s a Christian. But he can’t tell you the last time he defeated a temptation or experienced an answered prayer. Twenty years into his faith he fights the same battles he was fighting the day he came to Christ. It’s as if the door to spiritual growth has a lock and everyone has the key but him.

Joshua 21:43 says, “So the Lord gave Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give. . .and they took possession of it and dwelt in it.”

The promised land! God’s vision for your life. Yours for the taking. Expect to be challenged. The enemy won’t go down without a fight. But your glory days await you!

It is when we forget that God loves us so much that he did away with requiring us to perform endless acts of being good in order to show ourselves worthy of his love. We will never be worthy and he knows that so he did all that he would require of us to be worthy and we have to humble ourselves and accept it. Some still think that they can purchase eternal life with their deeds given enough time and enough deeds, I say the price is infinite you will be a slave to deeds forever and still never attain it.

More Than Conquerors

God spoke. Joshua listened and Israel’s Glory Days began. The Jordan River opened up and Jericho’s walls fell down. Evil was booted, and hope was rebooted. Joshua 21:43 says, “So the Lord gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it. The Lord gave them rest all around…not a man of all their enemies stood against them!”

Perhaps you need a new season. You don’t need to cross the Jordan River, but you need to get through the week. You aren’t facing Jericho, but you are facing rejection or heartache. The story of Joshua dares us to believe God has a Promised Land for us to take! It’s not real estate, but a real state of the heart and mind! A Promised Land…a promised land life!
