As we start the new year, we begin with the hope of achieving breakthroughs and fulfilling our goals. We understand that God allows for challenges and trials so we can grow and mature in our faith. Joshua was given the heavy responsibility to lead the people of Israelites into the Promised Land of God. Joshua had shown promising signs as a young spy that he had faith in God (Numbers 13-14), but he was unproven as a leader. As we follow Joshua’s journey, we pray that we can tap into Joshua’s boldness and courage to overcome the myriad of challenges and trials of life.
