God’s Chosen

September 27th – Joshua 1:9

Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

The story of Joshua is one of my favorites in the Bible. Imagine the weight of being called to take over for Moses and lead God’s people into their promised land. And as someone who doesn’t easily embrace change and is prone to fear, I can’t help but admire his strength. Because Joshua never let the unknown keep him from obeying the Lord. God often calls us to step out of our comfort zone, urging us to embrace change and growth. Because as our Heavenly Father, He knows us better than we know ourselves. And He sees the missed opportunities and experiences that come from always staying in our own little box. So God encourages us to break free from our self-imposed limitations, trust in His plan, and follow Him into the unknown with faith, courage, and excitement. If we want a personal transformation, a deeper understanding of our purpose, and a closer connection to God, that can only happen through leaps of faith. Times when we overcome our fears, and embrace the unknown.

October 15th – Zephaniah 3:17

Zephaniah 3:17

God’s Promise – “I will sing over you with loud shouts of joy!”

We are often our own worst critics. Instead of seeing ourselves as marvelous works created by the hand that created all things, we focus on our flaws and imperfections. But that’s not how God sees us. Our Heavenly Father created every inch of us head to toe. And He loves us just the way we are. No matter if we are short or tall, skinny or fat, blonde or brunette, we are precious to God. So precious in fact that He sings great songs of love over us. Too many times we fall prey to the lies of the enemy who tells us that we are unlovable, unusable, and unworthy. But that’s far from the truth. Just ask God. For He looks at us through the eyes of a loving, forgiving Father and sees nothing less than a most wonderful part of His perfect creation! So remember to whom you belong, and who calls you His. The One whose heart shouts with joy just at the mere thought of you!
