Joshua 24:14 (April 26th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

The application of this verse is about God's mercies to Joshua and the people.  It is an exhortation to fear and serve God, in gratitude for his favor, and that it might be continued.  We know that our work for God is never fully done until our life is done.  If God lengthens our days, it is because He has some further service for us to do.  Let's stop making excuses for every little thing and be sincere and faithful.  How can God use you to do His work if you are not sincere and faithful.  Examine your life and ask Him to help you make the necessary changes to serve him and do according to His will.

Joshua 21 (April 24th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasture

What are pasturelands and why does Joshua 21 repeat it numerous times?  In this chapter, Joshua was to allot the Levites land to dwell along with their pasturelands for livestock. According to wikipedia: "Pasturelands in the narrow sense are enclosed tracts of farmland, grazed by domesticated livestock, such as horses, cattle, sheep or swine.  The vegetation of tended pasture, forage, consists mainly of grasses.  Pasture is typically grazed throughout the summer."

In this modern day, we do not go around allotting  groups of people land, however, God has allotted us different places where we can go and spread the gospel.  Many of the different places include: your job,  school, waiting for an appointment at the doctor, emergency room, dentist, barber, etc.  Because the mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life (Prov 10:11), we need to go and spread the good news to all so they too can have life.

Joshua 20:9 (April 23rd)

Quiet Time Nugget:

God told Joshua what cities to designate to the different group of people and he distributed them as God told him. God still continues to tell us the different places to go to.  Has God told you to go somewhere or do something and you have not done it?  What are you waiting for?  God gives and takes away but when He gives you something or tells you to go somewhere lets obey.  He will never abandon.  He will provide everything you need.  We do not have to go to other countries to preach the gospel maybe it is your neighbor or family member that needs to hear the good news.  Take the time to ask God: -- what do you want me to do? -- wait -- then do it!

Joshua 17:14 (April 22nd)

Quiet Time Nugget:

Have you ever come to the realization, like Joshua did, that the Lord has been blessing you all along?  We take for granted those things and people that make our lives easy.  Many times we just don't have time to stop (and smell the roses).  Lets take sometime today to 'STOP' and thank God for ALL the blessings we have received.  As I sit here meditating on His word I want to personally thank God for my blessings.
(Thank you Lord because I woke up and I was able to see, walk, talk.  Thank you for my morning coffee and toast. Thank you for all the clothes in my closet - what am I going to wear? Thank you for my car and protect me from all the 18-wheelers that zoom by me or behind me very fast.  Protect me from any "deer" that might cross my path). As you can see there are so many and so I will stop typing now and continue thanking the Lord for all my blessing since all along the Lord has blessed me and will continue.

Joshua 15:19 (April 21st)

Quiet Time Nugget:

• When was the last time you asked God for a blessing?
• When was the last time you noticed all the blessings you receive everyday?
•  Have you actually noticed all the blessings that you already have?  

Wow, it is amazing how much we are blessed everyday! As I was meditating in this verse I began to thank God for everything.  I just could not stop because when I thought I was done, something else would come to my mind.  We have so many blessing that we take for granted the everyday things that make us who we are.
Take the time to thank Him for all the blessing, big or small.  And if you need for Him to bless you - just ask Him.  He is a God of love who wants to give you blessings.

Joshua 13 (April 20th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

The chapters I read today spoke about the different inheritance each group of people received.  According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary the word inheritance means:

1

a :  the act of inheriting property

b :  the reception of genetic qualities by transmission from parent to offspring

c :  the acquisition of a possession, condition, or trait from past generations

2

:  something that is or may be inherited

What do you want to inherit?  Most people want to inherit properties, money, estates, and so much more.  Have you thought of what your inheritance from God is?  God has promised us eternal life.  Do you want that eternal life?  I know I do!  Believe in Him, confess your sins, and accept Him as your Savior and you too can experience eternal life, the best inheritance anyone can receive.

Joshua 10:25 (April 19th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

Again and again God tells us throughout the Bible not to be afraid or dismayed.  God is a god of love.  We all know that when someone loves you or you love someone, nothing else matters.  You want the best of the best for that person.  You do everything you can to make that person happy.  You enjoy spending time with that person and when it is time to leave you feel an lonely.  You want to spend every moment with that person.  So if God is love, which he is, spend time with Him - do not be afraid or dismayed.  The more time you spend with Him the stronger you will become.  Trust in Him and He will give you courage to do anything--> go find a job, ask someone to marry, ask for a raise, travel, call a lost loved one, anything…

Joshua 8:1 (April 18th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

Are you struggling with some major decision that you have to make?  Are you torn between yes I can do this or no I can't?  The Bible says: "Do Not Fear and Do Not Be Dismayed".  When you put your trust in God and you listen attentively to his word, you will know what choice to make.  God is involved in every aspect of our lives.  God knows your everyday needs.  God wants you to have the best.  God is a god of mercy.  He will guide you in making the right choices - so why don't you stop struggling and ask Him for help. Like a 'Nike' commercial would say: 'Just do it' - you'll be glad you did.

Joshua 2:11 (April 16th)

Quiet Time Nugget:

Have you ever had your heart melt?  I know that my heart melts when I see a cute baby, view a serene landscape, see my hubby, experience God's wonders and of course eat dark chocolate (lol).  If you have never experience that, you can.  How?  Accept Jesus as your savior.  Pray to Him.  Read the Bible daily.  There is nothing better than having the feeling that you are on "cloud 9" when you spent time with God.  He is so merciful and caring.  He will take care of all your troubles no matter how small or big they are.  I hope you find time to allow God to melt your heart.
