Be Strong and Courageous: The Entry into Canaan & The Signs of the End (Day 112)

How do we find courage when the world feels like it's shifting beneath our feet? Today we start the Book of Joshua, moving from the wilderness wandering to the conquest of the Promised Land. God’s command to the new leader is simple yet profound: "Be strong and courageous." We also meet Rahab, an unlikely hero whose faith saves her household. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus delivers His "Olivet Discourse," preparing His disciples for the trials to come and the eventual cosmic signs of His second coming.Today’s Scripture:📖 Joshua 1–2 – Following the death of Moses, God commissions Joshua to lead Israel across the Jordan. We see the preparation for battle and the mission of two spies into Jericho, where they find an unexpected ally in Rahab, who hides them and confesses her faith in the God of Israel.📖 Luke 21:5–38 – Looking at the magnificent Temple, Jesus predicts its total destruction. He warns of false messiahs, wars, and persecutions, but encourages His followers to "straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."📖 Proverbs 10:11–20 – Solomon’s proverbs continue to contrast the righteous and the wicked, specifically focusing on the power of the tongue: "The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence."RESOURCES & READ-ALONG 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYKi8-_5xHGL_nFAZOthHtZhcb4CqW4ZF 📖 Follow the Text (LEB): https://biblia.com/books/leb/ 🗓️ Download the Full Plan: https://www.biblica.com/resources/reading-plans/CONNECT & SUPPORT 📧 Questions?
