00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.320
Hi my friends, today, day 15, we are talking about taking bold action.

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:12.620
Joshua 1, 9 says, Have I not commanded you, Be strong, and of good courage.

3
00:00:12.620 --> 00:00:15.740
Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed.

4
00:00:15.740 --> 00:00:20.140
For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

5
00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:26.540
I love the story of Joshua, I've been meditating on it all of last year and this year and God

6
00:00:26.540 --> 00:00:31.500
just keeps talking to me about this idea of possessing our promised land, and that it

7
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:37.740
requires bold feet to take those steps to conquer the giants and to take the territory

8
00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:39.800
that he's given to us.

9
00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:46.040
And those steps are one at a time, you know, he promised Moses and Joshua that every place

10
00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:50.320
that your foot tread that that would be your inheritance.

11
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.840
And like us, it's those small actions that we take day in and day out that result in

12
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.600
the promises of God being fulfilled in our life.

13
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:05.540
Bold action is essential for bringing our dreams into fruition.

14
00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:11.880
And God calls us to be proactive in our journey, you know, using the gifts and talents to bring

15
00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:13.440
him glory.

16
00:01:13.440 --> 00:01:19.960
And each action, no matter how small, contributes to our progress and it reflects our commitment

17
00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:22.080
to pursuing our dream.

18
00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:28.160
And again, like Joshua, we might come against those Jericho walls or having to cross the

19
00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:31.000
Jordan, but see, God is always with us.

20
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.880
You know, the rest of the verse in Joshua, he says, you know, do not fear for I am with

21
00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:40.160
you and he's always with us even in our dream journey.

22
00:01:40.160 --> 00:01:46.040
And so our activation for today is what is one step you can take that aligns with your

23
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:47.280
dream.

24
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:52.080
Maybe it's a phone call, maybe it's writing that first verse or writing out, you know,

25
00:01:52.080 --> 00:01:54.120
the first words of your chapter.

26
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:58.300
Maybe it's, you know, recording something to put on social media.

27
00:01:58.300 --> 00:02:02.160
Maybe it's having that conversation about God with a friend.

28
00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:08.400
Maybe it's starting your LLC, like whatever step God is calling you to do, be bold and

29
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.200
courageous and take action today.

30
00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:17.300
And then our second activation, it's commit to taking that courageous step, no matter

31
00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:18.640
how small.

32
00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:23.280
And I love all the stories in the Bible, you know, kind of small beginnings, how the one

33
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.980
conversation that, you know, Jesus had with a woman at the well resulted in her going

34
00:02:27.980 --> 00:02:34.520
out and telling, you know, all of her community about Jesus and a lot of salvations, you know,

35
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.000
came because of that.

36
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:42.440
So don't discount the one person or the one thing that you are taking action or obeying.

37
00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:43.880
So let me pray for you today.

38
00:02:43.880 --> 00:02:46.480
So God, I just thank you for my friend.

39
00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:52.200
I thank you for courage action, a courageous action today, God, that no matter how small

40
00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:56.880
the things that they're stepping out in God, that they would do it in obedience and confidence

41
00:02:56.880 --> 00:03:01.700
with you that they would know that you are with them, give them boldness to not discount

42
00:03:01.700 --> 00:03:06.140
those beginning steps and God, that they would commit their way to you and that you

43
00:03:06.140 --> 00:03:09.980
would bless them and prosper them in Jesus name.

44
00:03:09.980 --> 00:03:10.980
Amen.

45
00:03:10.980 --> 00:03:13.500
Okay, my friend, I hope you have a great day.
