约书亚召唤了所有以色列人，“……你们是一心一意地知道，耶和华——你们神所应许赐福与你们的话没有一句落空，都应验在你们身上了。” （约书亚记23:14）

约书亚虽然大半生都是在面对患难、挫折，和失望。但他从来没有停止相信神必会实现他的应许。在他生命快要结束时，约书亚看到神的信实呈现了，他也因此告诫以色列人要认清并记得神的应许。

你用什么念头来装满你的脑子是至关重要的，因为你所念念不忘的会影响你的世界观。

你若是选择靠神的应许而活，那你就会在面对不稳定的情况时开始识别神的祝福。另外，当你信靠神将来会补偿你现在所受的苦时，你就有能力继续在信心的道路上前行打美好的胜仗。

当你开始今天的生活时，默想神的一些应许，并让它们改变你思考的方式：

神必会扶持你。

神的平安必保守你的心怀意念。

神必因你喜乐而欢呼。

神必定会指导并指示你当行的路。

神是你的避难所，你的力量，是你患难中随时的帮助。

靠着神的爱，在一切事上你已经是得胜有余了。

神总不撇下你，也不丢弃你。

在神的爱里没有惧怕。

没有东西能让我们与神的爱隔绝。

神对你还没完工。神对你还没完工。神对你还没完工。

• 祈求神的应许

神啊，我感谢你的话语中充满了你的应许。帮助我坚守着我已知的真理。提醒我你是信实的。当我轻易忘了你的作为，或是忘了你是如何显明了你的信实时，求你让我的心记住。让我坚定不移。阿们。

Joshua summoned all Israel, “…you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed.” - Joshua 23:14

Joshua spent most of his life enduring adversity, setbacks, and disappointment. And yet, he never stopped believing that God would keep His promises. By the end of his life, Joshua saw God’s faithfulness come to pass, which is why he told the Israelites to recognize and remember God’s promises.

The thoughts you fill your mind with are crucial because what you cling to influences your worldview.

If you choose to dwell on God’s promises, you start to recognize God’s blessings during uncertain times. Plus, trusting that God will redeem your present pain equips you to walk forward in faith and keep on fighting.

As you walk forward today, reflect on some of God’s promises, and let them transform the way you think:

God will sustain you.

God’s peace will guard your heart.

God delights over you with singing.

God will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.

God is your refuge and strength, your help in times of need.

In all things, you are more than a conqueror because God loves you.

God will never leave you or forsake you.

God’s perfect love casts out all your fear.

Nothing can separate you from God’s love.

God’s not done with you. God’s not done with you. God’s not done with you.

• Pray God’s Promises:

God, I’m so thankful that the Scriptures are filled with Your promises. Help me to cling to what I know is true. Remind me of Your faithfulness. When I am tempted to forget what You’ve done or how You’ve shown Yourself faithful, cause my heart to remember. Keep me steadfast. Amen.
