Have you ever waited a really, really long time for something you’ve wanted or hoped for? Maybe purchasing your first home, landing your dream job, finding that special someone - or seeing your newborn for the very first time.
Think about what it feels like when the day finally arrives, when the thing you’ve longed for becomes a reality… the moment a hope is fulfilled a whole new timeline is ushered in. You move from one existence into another in an instant. A whole new beginning.
The book of Joshua describes such a moment in the history of the descendants of Abraham. The time has come for them to finally inherit the land which had been promised to their forefathers hundreds of years before (Genesis 15). After all those centuries of struggle, there was no turning back. Now was the time to follow God forward - From Here to There- and to enter fully into His promise.
This ancient story is brimming with hope, courage and faith - purpose, promise and victory.
This summer, we're listening for the Moving Lessons that God might have for us today.
