After Moses died, God anointed Joshua to be the leader of Israel. Joshua led the people of Israel into the Promised Land. However, he could never have accomplished that feat if he hadn't been willing to move when God said that it was time to move. That's an important lesson for us today. In order to have the abundant life Jesus promised, we have to move when it's time to move.

The story of Gideon shows us that God can do miraculous things in us and through us when we remember that He is with us, so we don't have to be strong.

Everyone suffers through storms in life. The question is not how to avoid them. The question is what to do when we find ourselves in the midst of a storm.
