Download This Message –>> 240510 Walking in the Ways of the Lord Part 40 – The Goodness of God Is Always With Us
God’s Goodness is always with us.
Psalm 31: 19 Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! (NKJV)
Psalm 23: 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever. (NKJV) (Psalm 27: 4)
1st John 4: 15 – 16 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. (16) And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. (NKJV)
Psalm 37: 23 – 24 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way. (24) Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the LORD upholds him with His hand. (NKJV)
Joshua was a good man. His steps were ordered by the Lord. God told Joshua what to do in order to walk in the ways of the Lord.
Joshua 1: 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.” (NKJV)
Let’s back up a couple of verses to see what God told Joshua to do in order to be strong and of good courage so that he would be able to walk in the steps that were ordered by the Lord.
Joshua 1: 7 – 8 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. (8) This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. (NKJV)
If Joshua did not do his part, then even though his steps were ordered by the Lord, Joshua would not have had success.
Whether or not Joshua had success depended on Joshua doing his part. God had already made the provision. Joshua had to do his part in order for that provision to be unlocked.
