Jesus gives us hope because He keeps us company, has a vision and knows the way we should go.

When grace happens, generosity happens. Unsquashable, eyepopping bigheartedness happens.

With God, every day matters, every person counts. And that includes you.

It's such a unique story. Book of Joshua in the Bible wasn't always my favorite book, by the way. Only some ago did I realize that this book covers a seven-year period in the history of ancient Israel in which they literally went undefeated.They did have one setback, but outside of that, they defeated over 30 kings. They recaptured the Promised Land. They did what their ancestors said they could not.

Fear corrodes our confidence in God's goodness.

Just when the truth about life sinks in, His truth starts to surface. He takes us by the hand and dares us not to sweep the facts under the rug but to confront them with him at our side.

Sin is not an unfortunate slip or a regrettable act; it is a posture of defiance against a holy God.
