God Ministers To Us in Our Needs

Today was rough, not having a job for seven months got to me, and I began to question God and become discontent with my situation.

God lovingly gave me exactly what I needed throughout the afternoon and early evening.

The first song that came on the radio after I was really down was Before the Morning ~Josh Wilson. There was a part of me that didn't want to hear it because I wasn't sure if the morning would ever come.




The first commercial break had a clip from a message that had been aired on the station that essentially said...
You can ask God why, but he doesn't have to answer you. He never answered Job.
This evening in devotions it was my turn to lead in our Old Testament survey, and the section was on major themes in Joshua. The author made the point that Joshua is not primarily about Joshua, or Israel's military victories. Instead it is about God fulfilling his promise to Abraham to give them the Land of Canaan, and how He worked powerfully to fulfill it.

God's Promises are the Key to the Dungeon of Despair

5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5, New King James Version)


9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9, New King James Version)

Cling to these promises as you press on.
