Description
Obeying God is always the right thing to do, but it’s not always the easiest. We need courage—a special quality of mind and spirit that enables us to meet danger, opposition and the challenges of life with steadfast fearlessness.
In this message, Dr. Stanley explains that it always benefits us to obey the principles of the Word of God. Using the life of Joshua, he shares how meditating on Scripture can:
- Quieten our spirits
- Purify our hearts
- Sharpen our perceptions
- Clarify our directions
- Confirm or caution us
- Increase our faith
- Enlarge our views of God
- Keep us aware of His presence and power
- Guide us to success
Joshua’s obedience and dedication to God’s Word not only influenced Israel while he was alive, but also after he died. Our adherence to biblical principles is no less important—so what will you do when it’s time to make a choice between what is right and what is easy?
