Title- Arise, Be Strong, and Get Working
Passage- Joshua 1:1-18
Attention- It’s that time of the year again for people to make their New Years resolutions.
I am not sure who actually said this but I think they hit the nail on the head...
Resolutions are most often empty promises for those who have an abundance of dreams, but refuse to wake up and live them.
Introduction
Te reality is that we don’t need a day where we stand and commit to do a certain thing...
We need to stand and commit to that thing every day
And to not stop committing to it
Here i nJoshua One we find Joshua in a position that begs him to commit
That in order for him to reach the goal he needs to keep committing
If Joshua were to commit to this task as we commit to our New Year’s resolutions they would have never gotten past the Jordan river.
What is the main driving point (CPS)?
Friends, when it comes to our spiritual lives we must commit EVERY DAY to seek out the Lord and His righteousness.
Why does the CPS matter, what is the consequence?
In this passage I find three beginnings to walking in righteousness
Transition
The first beginning is to..
I. Get Moving (1-5)
Explain
Joshua 1:2
There are two key words in this verse...
Arise and GO
The reference here is to the Promised land and the obstacle hindering their possessing it
Don’t get me wrong, there were a lot of obstacles but none of the bigger ones matter if they do not:
First, get up....become prepared
Second....get going, the word literally means to pass over
It is a form of the word used in and when the Lord says “I will pass through the land of Egypt
If they don’t first arise and secondly cross over the Jordan river
This was an obstacle but a bigger obstacle than it needed to be.
The river was passable, maybe uncomfortable or even dangerous bur passable
It wasn’t until they responded in faith that what they feared God turned into a miracle.
The walked over on dry land....
Bridge to today
