Reading: Matthew 28:16-20
Devotional: Joshua led Israel into the Promised Land with God's assurance: "I will be with you." Jesus sends His church into the world with the same promise: "I am with you always." Joshua was commanded to meditate on God's instruction; Jesus commands us to teach disciples to obey all He commanded. The parallel is stunning. But Jesus is greater than Joshua. He didn't just lead us toward promise—He secured it through His death and resurrection. He doesn't just accompany us—He dwells in us by His Spirit. The call to courageous obedience hasn't changed, but the foundation is deeper. You're not alone in the battle. Christ has gone before you, walks with you, and works within you. Today's courage isn't about having what it takes. It's about trusting the One who does.
