Introduction:

Have you taken time to reflect on how the Lord has blessed you? Sometimes we forget how God has been good to us. Taking time to remember how He has been faithful helps us refocus on the present, trust the Lord more, and be less anxious. Frequent reflection and thanksgiving for God’s goodness is a great recipe for joy in our lives.

As Joshua neared the end of his life, he gathered Israel together and recounted the ways God had blessed them in the past. Since God had been faithful to provide, Joshua urged them to remain faithful and continue to follow the Lord (Josh. 24:14-15).

We can also benefit from reflecting on how God blessed Israel! If God called Abraham away from worshipping false gods, can He not save our wandering children? If He could deliver Israel from bondage in Egypt, can He not deliver us from bad things? If He delivered them with powerful miracles, can He not move powerfully in our lives today? (Gene Kissinger and Tom Greene quoted in Bible Expositor and Illuminator, Union Gospel Press, Summer Quarter 2026).
