WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL

Week of Monday April 13 – April 19
Divine Direction – Man as Provider

“Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful 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. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” - Joshua 1:7-9

In our book Strong and Courageous, we relate a true and tragic story about a pilot who filed a flight plan but veered far off course. Air traffic control lost contact with him. Fighter jets were scrambled and tried desperately to get his attention by flying alongside him and dropping flares, signaling him to respond. But there was no response. The plane kept drifting, farther and farther from its intended destination, until it finally disappeared from radar. It is presumed to have crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. A life lost—not due to a lack of direction, but because the direction was abandoned.

That tragic story is more than an aviation mystery; it is a sobering picture of what happens when a man goes off course. An even greater tragedy happens when a man off course takes his family with him. Joshua was grappling with the weight of leadership now that Moses was gone. God gave him a command that is just as relevant for us today: “Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left” (verse 7). God called Joshua to complete dependence on His Word in order to provide direction to His people.

God laid out three essentials for leading well in verse 8:
