the new beginning

-

So the Israelites camped in Gilgal and celebrated the Passover
in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the plains of Jericho.
They ate some of the produce of the land the day after the Passover,
including unleavened bread and roasted grain.

The manna stopped appearing the day they ate some of the produce of the land;
the Israelites never ate manna again.

When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man
standing in front of him holding a drawn sword.

Joshua approached him and asked him,
Are you on our side or allied with our enemies?
He answered, Truly I am the commander of the Lord’s army.
Now I have arrived!

Joshua bowed down with his face to the ground and asked,
What does my master want to say to his servant?

The commander of the Lord’s army answered Joshua,
Remove your sandals from your feet,
because the place where you stand is holy. Joshua did so.
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭5:10-15‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

Do not be discouraged

Do not be discouraged. I am with you. Yes, I am working within you, despite what you don’t see or sense. I am with you. Drink-in the water I offer. Apply the balm of my peace to your restlessness. My words bring encouragement. Let them soak into your life. My ways bring wholeness, for now and in the time yet to be revealed. I am active within your life. Rest in me and do not allow discouragement to affect you. My love for you is ever-growing. It reveals itself as you allow me to work. Replace what you don’t see with my assurance. My words will come to pass. They never fail. There is nothing I have shown you that I will not perform. Let the water of my living word refresh you.

Out of the Water

-
Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.” Exodus 2:10 (NLT) I have known you before your birth and blessed you with my name. I have drawn you up, out of the waters and into my presence. Walk with me. Lean into me so I can steady your way. I have places yet for you to be going; lives yet for you to reach.
