Jesus will empty the tombs and melt the winter of death.

Let your failures refine you, not define you.

For those who never pray, maybe now you will. For those of us who attempt to pray, maybe we can pray more.

The Promised Land, for many people, though, is something that's far off in the future. People are saved, but they don't feel victory. They feel like they're in a wilderness and they're wandering. And so this book of Joshua gives us a picture of how we can come out of the wilderness in our own spiritual lives and enter into a season of victory.

God comes on his own terms. He comes when commands are revered, hearts are clean, and confession is made.

I firmly believe that the purpose of life is not this life. It is to equip us, whatever our role is going to be in the next life. And understanding God's story is really where I find the significance and purpose in my own story.

When God looks at you, he doesn’t see you; he sees the One who surrounds you. That means that failure is not a concern for you. Your victory is secure.
