Joshua: The Battles of Life
Manage episode 325195050 series 1328934
Joshua 1:1-8
Louis Tamburro
Trust God with the battles of life like Joshua. In the rest of the book of Joshua, the Lord leads the Israelites through many battles, and the book ends with Joshua giving this message. Ch 24:15, “‘Therefore, choose for yourselves today: Who will you worship—the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living? As for me and my family, we will worship the Lord.’” The same question he asked back then is the same question I’m asking today. It’s who will you choose to worship, who will you chose to serve? Who will you choose to be your Savior, Lord, Commander, when the battles of life come?...and they will come. Everybody will face battles in life, and some of those battles will crush you physically, emotionally, spiritually...if you aren’t fighting those battles with the Lord.
The good news of the gospel is we don’t have to fight those battles alone. The same Jesus who fought for Joshua is willing to fight for us, and he proved it when he died for our sins on the cross. The battle Jesus fought on the cross was a battle over sin and death for our eternal souls, and his resurrection on the 3rd day proved he won that battle. It proved he’s victorious even over sin and death. If Jesus can conquer that battle, he can conquer any battle you’ll ever face in life. If he can conquer the battle over death, he can conquer the battle in your life. He can conquer the battle in your marriage, your family, your career, your struggles with sin, including the battle for your soul giving you eternal life in him. But you have to trust Jesus as your Savior, your Lord, your Commander. You have to surrender control to him, and faithfully endure as you wait on him. If you do, he’ll always be with you, helping you through the battles of life.
