Joshua 10:14 says "There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!" Watch as we talk about what that could have been! We also talk about adverbs, and obeying our parents, totally and completely!
Happy first day of May! With a new month, comes new possibilities, opportunities, and more dependency on the Lord. Isn’t it reassuring to know that before the foundations of the world, God saw this day from start to finish AND that He sovereignly ordained it to be just the way it was? Can’t wait to see what God has for all of us for May!
I’ve got another video message for you kids. The trained teacher in me simply can’t resist a teaching opportunity and, while reading God's Words in Joshua 10, my teacher “feelers” kicked in high gear. More importantly, this theme of “complete” and “total” obedience cannot be overlooked!
Parents, we hear from Pastor Grant almost weekly that the key to all things (miracles, favor, breakthrough) is obedience. This is why it is so important that our children practice obedience daily. God’s love, our love for our children, is the fuel and motivator to why we practice, expect, and discipline in obedience. This is why I expect quick obedience from my kids at home, at school, and church. If my kids won’t listen and obey me when I speak, how could I ever expect them to do the same for God? I hope that you and your children hear my heart on this! The hard work you are putting in now with your kids will have a lasting impact!
Our Island Church friend, Dr. Allen Meyers said it best, “You either pay now and play later or play now and pay later. Either way, you pay, and it’s always cheaper to pay upfront.”
Main point: God made the sun stand still and gave His people victory.
Key passage: “The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8
