#soap # Joshua 1 ### S.O.A.P.- Obey God’s Word with Courage to Find Success ## Scripture: (Joshua 1:7) “Make sure you are very strong and brave! Carefully obey all the law my servant Moses charged you to keep. Do not swerve from it to the right or to the left, so that you may be successful in all you do.” (NET) ## Observation: This is not some fortune-cookie saying. Joshua is about to embark on a massive campaign. His life is going to be in his hands continually. Not only his but everyone he leads. Few of us will encounter the type of stress Joshua must have faced at the moment. God gives him the keys to finding the hoped-for outcome… Have courage because you have been called to this. Study God’s Word so you know how to move forward. Move forward. This same template works for us today. ## Application: Embrace each day with the same courage. Read God’s Word to know the “ground rules for life.” Move forward. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for choosing us to live today. ## Title: Obey God’s Word with Courage to Find Success
