God Encouraged Joshua

God encouraged Joshua and promised to be with him as he led the Israelites into the promised land, where they would be victorious and find rest. We have victory over sin and rest for our souls in Jesus, who is with us always and leads us into the promised land of God’s kingdom.

AT HOME FAMILY GUIDE

HOW TO GUIDE

• What qualities do you think God wants leaders to have?

• How can you grow in these leadership qualities

Mornings
Ask God to remind you of His presence today. How does God’s presence help us live with confidence and courage?

Evenings
Thank God for His promises and His faithfulness to keep those promises. Why can we trust God? How does His faithfulness give us strength for tough times?

For Fun...

1. Write encouraging notes to your kids. Set aside time during this week and ask them to write an encouraging note to someone who leads them, such as a church volunteer, a pastor, or a teacher. Discuss the importance of encouraging leaders to love and obey God.

2. Cut a 2-inch square out of cardstock or index card. Direct each family member to write God Keeps His Promises on the square. Encourage each family member to keep the square in their pocket or display it on a mirror or door for the remainder of the week. Whenever they notice the card, take a moment to thank God for the promises He has made and will keep.

To Serve...

1. Send flowers or a gift to someone you know has been sick or hospitalized. Make a card to go with the gift and write Joshua 1:9 on the card. As a family, pray that the recipient would find comfort and hope in God’s promises.
