Join the Fall 2017 Online Bible Study of Ready: Finding the Courage to Face the Unknown

September 19, 2017 3 Comments

Join the Fall 2017 Online Study of Ready: Finding the Courage to Face the Unknown | a six-week Bible study on Joshua | www.therescuedletters.com this …

In August of 2015, God told me to get ready. I didn’t audibly hear those words, of course, but sometimes God places thoughts in our minds that simply can’t be ignored. And the warning to get ready was just exactly one of those thoughts.

Wanting to confirm what I was hearing with God’s Word, I turned to the first time those two words appeared in the Bible. We find them in the book of Joshua, where God tells Joshua to get ready, because he is about to lead the Israelites across a flooding Jordan River into their Promised Land.

I spent the next several weeks studying the first five chapters of Joshua, following their preparations for their journey into Canaan. I studied the promises that God made to them before they stepped their toes into the river and made note of the commands that God gave them that would ensure their success.

Two months later, I suffered a miscarriage, two aneurysms, a partial kidney infarction, and a ruptured carotid artery. I was soon diagnosed with an incurable connective tissue disorder that makes my blood vessels, arteries, and organs prone to spontaneous rupture. Get ready.

It was the truths in those first five chapters of Joshua that helped me stay steady through those scary unknowns. And after we processed the ramifications of all that had happened, I began to wonder…

  • How much ground are we losing because we simply are not ready for what life on this broken earth throws at us?
  • Are we willing to be as prepared in our spiritual life as we are for everything else?
  • What if we could find the courage to readily face whatever falls upon our path?

The unknown beckons for all of us. But it doesn’t have to be paralyzing. The answer to finding the courage to face it victoriously is found in the book of Joshua, and that’s why I’ve written Ready: Finding the Courage to Face the Unknown, a six-week Bible study on Joshua 1-5.

It’s God’s plan for the woman who knows the battle is coming, but refuses to leave the front line. The good news is that the wisdom found in Joshua will prepare you for the battle, but it will also prepare you for the blessing. And you’ll find the courage to face the unknown.

But here's the long story.
