MOVING FORWARD

Imagine you’re in a relay race, the weight of responsibility heavy on your shoulders. After countless hours of practice, the moment of truth arrives as you watch your teammate rounding the track, their stride carrying your team’s hopes. The tension builds, and as they draw closer, anxiety grips you. When the baton finally hits your hand, your focus sharpens—you grip it tightly and take off toward the finish line with everything you’ve got. In life’s pivotal moments, we often feel the weight of responsibility. When faced with challenges, we may feel torn between charging ahead in God’s strength or giving up. Joshua likely felt this same tension as he stood at the threshold of leading the Israelites into the Promised Land.

“After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: ‘Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites.’” Joshua 1:1-2 (NIV)

Try to imagine what Joshua is feeling: fear, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, loneliness, and impostor syndrome. One thing was clear about Joshua—he still moved forward. God told him, “Get ready,” because He was going to bring them into the Promised Land. He had an unshakeable resolve to move forward with what he was handed because he had an unshakeable promise from God.

CHALLENGE:

Identify one area in your life where fear, anxiety, or doubt is holding you back from moving forward. Write it down and pray specifically for God’s guidance and courage to take the first step into His promises this week.

PRAYER THOUGHT:

Just like Joshua had to get ready to enter the Promised Land, prepare your heart to be ready to move forward into the promises God has for your life. Specifically pray and proclaim the promises of God over yourself, your family, or your community.
