Joshua and God were in close relationship, to the point that Joshua regularly received guidance from God. In this chapter we see God showing Joshua what was left to be done as the leader of Israel, and how God was going to lead him in doing it.
Today we have the awesome gift of not having to seek God through a person like Joshua, but through the gift that he gives us, the Holy Spirit. Each of us can be guided by God if we put our faith in him and seek him.
I need this reminder daily. Every day, probably every hour I catch myself planning all on my own, with no thought to what the Holy Spirit might be saying to me. I guess one could say that the Holy Spirit isn't into nagging. If we don't turn to him, he's not always going to tug at us and try to get our attention.
Every day I'm challenged to remember the truth: that God is with me right now, right here in the Holy Spirit.
Hello Holy Spirit. Good afternoon. I'm sorry for not seeking you as often as I should and can. Thank you for being with me now.
I'm ready to listen, and to act on what you reveal to me.
