Love, Powe, Presence
Everywhere in scripture God is moving us to do his will and motivates us by pointing to his love, power, and presence. When the Israelites saw the power of God as they crossed the red sea and then saw the Egyptian army drown they proclaimed: In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling. Exodus 15:13 Promising his love, power and presence to Joshua he commanded Joshua: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 God always motivates His people to act while promising His Love, Presence and Power.
