Kuɛ̈n 14:8

What is the fear of God, and is it a good thing for me to be fearful of Him? In this 3-day devotional by beloved pastor, R.T. Kendall, you will encounter the presence of God in new and exciting ways as you delve into true reverence for God. Learn how the fear of God can play a powerful role in growing your relationship with Christ.

In Joshua 1: 1-9, we see Joshua standing on the brink of promise. We’ve all had those moments when we sense God drawing us to do something new, respond differently or trust him for something more. Over the next three days we’ll reflect on God’s promises and the importance of putting our faith into action. God wants us to believe in Him, but belief alone is not enough to actually propel us forward. He also expects us to step out in obedience to claim His promises.

Does your mindset need a check-up? Are you a cup half-empty person? Do you tend towards fear instead of faith? When faced with a challenge, are you filled with dread? The Israelites give us a clear mindset challenge when scouts go to survey the land God is giving them. Ten come back with a fearful report, but two return full of faith and hope. How can we beat the odds and adopt a Biblical mindset? Let’s start today.

Being a leader called by God does not guarantee an easy path free from challenges. In fact, the opposite is often true. Navigating ethical leadership in a broken world, where many pursue their own agendas, is no simple task. Yet, it is precisely within these challenges that we discover our true strength and purpose.
