God is With You! – Week of May 25, 2020
/in Devotions, ECME Devotions /by Sarah KrauseJoshua played a vital role in that plan for the salvation of humanity. He couldn’t change his mind and keep the Israelites in Moab. They had to continue on toward Jericho, and God was there to grant them strength along the way.
