Day 15 (21 Days of Prayer and Fasting)

(Read Scripture Passages Above)

Reflect on the Word

Israel experienced significant transition after the death of Moses. Most evident was the change of leadership. What was once entrusted to

Moses was now given to Joshua.

It was a change of generations, a change of circumstances and a change in the journey God had initiated many years earlier. When you consider the amount of change that took place in a single moment, it’s hard to see it as a simple continuation of the story.

Yet amid all that changed—and all the changes still ahead for Joshua—the most important thing remained the same: the faithfulness of God. The simple truth God speaks to Joshua—“As I was with Moses, so I will be with you”—is the revelation many of us desperately need as we navigate an endlessly changing world. We are a people of faith for the future because our hope is in an unchanging God. Our confidence to lead into uncertain futures has nothing to do with the circumstances that are in front of us, but the faithfulness of the One who is the same yesterday, today and forever.

The God with Moses was the God with Joshua. And the God with Joshua is the same God that is with us now and into the future.

Prayer + Contemplation

1. Consider all your life transitions. Next, reflect on God’s faithfulness in each of those seasons.

2. What fears do you hold about the future? Share those with God and invite the Holy Spirit to exchange those fears for His promises.

3. Who in your life is facing transition or anxiety about the future? Pray the promises of God over their lives and decisions.
