I am getting pretty amazed by the number of times the word of God appears in the Old Testament accounts. I tend to think all about the history and the Law and all the exciting events and I can forget about the simple timeless truths that are as applicable to us as they were to those folks.
In there is a simple instruction as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. God says to Joshua ‘remember the word that Moses gave you when he said ‘God will give you rest and He will give you this land.’’
These were precious promises of God and Joshua and the people would need them when they faced the battles that were to come. When things got dark they would need to hear ‘remember the word.’
We have that same need. All of us, no matter how secure we think we are, face uncertain futures. None of us know what tomorrow might bring. But we do have the word of God to remind us of His promises.
And lo, I am with you always
I will never leave you or forsake you
The Lord knows what you need
My God shall supply all your needs
Don’t be afraid, don’t be dismayed, the Lord your God is with you wherever you go
Remember the word today.
