TWO LESSONS1. God continually confirms our faith.When God calls us to the next big thing, he doesn't ask us to step out mindlessly. He provides everything we need to take steps of fresh faith.God is always working in our life. He uses the past as the basis of our faith. We know God will be with us tomorrow because he was with us yesterday. As we moved forward, he provided a new dose of faith daily.2. God uses broken people to do extraordinary things. A study of the book of Genesis will introduce you to eight people who end up in Hebrews 11, where we see what genuine faith looks like, and all those people—well, let's just say—their lives are a little messy. Do you know who is in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11?How could God use a prostitute? Well—he called her to himself. He confirmed her faith with his Person. God transformed her life, and she became a new creation.God revealed himself to Rahab and confirmed her faith by what he did at the Red Sea and Amorites. James 2:25 says that her faith was proven by hiding the spies and becoming a part of the nation of Israel. And…Rahab is in the genealogy of Jesus (Matt. 1:5)God uses broken people. If he didn't, he wouldn't have any people to use.--------DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOOREGet Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.CAREGIVINGDo you have a need we can pray for?

When Moses was still alive, the people of Reuben and Gad gained permission from Moses to stay on the east side of the Jordan where they could raise their livestock. The fighting men of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh would fight with the rest of Israel until the land was conquered. Was this a strategic agreement to protect the eastern border of Israel? Or was this a selfish move by these tribes to have the best land? We don't know. But the agreement was written down in Deuteronomy 3:18-20. Joshua 1:13-15 is a paraphrase of the passage from Deuteronomy 3. The response from the tribes was both enthusiastic and solemn. They agreed to keep their part of the agreement. Any rebels would be executed. They did not want fear and sin festering in their tribes.They based their agreement on two conditions. First, they had to witness God's work in Joshua's life as they had seen God work in Moses' life. Second, Joshua had to demonstrate strength and courage as a leader.Joshua assumed leadership when he was in his mid to late seventies. Some commentators believe he was in his eighties. He served as Moses' assistant for four decades, but he had never led at this level.--------DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOOREGet Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.CAREGIVINGDo you have a need we can pray for?

Jesus told his disciples—stop letting your hearts be troubled. There is a place waiting in heaven for you, and he promised that he would prepare the way to heaven by his work as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).John 14:3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.The Lamb of God did not remain in the grave. He rose from the dead! And the resurrection changes everything!

Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.Romans 8:31-32What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

THREE EXAMPLES OF PATIENCETo illustrate what patience looks like, James provides three examples. The Farmer: Trust God to do his work (James 5:7)The farmer planted his crops right after the early rain in October and then waited for the seed to take root and sprout. He depended on God for the sunshine and moisture. The late rains in March/April provided what was needed to produce a bountiful crop. The farmer had to wait patiently for God to do his work.The Prophets: Trust God to keep his Word (James 5:10)One of the toughest jobs in the OT was to be a prophet. Often, they delivered a message that few wanted to hear and fewer wanted to believe. Moses had to endure the complaining and grumbling of people for 40 years. Jeremiah was called the weeping prophet. Along with his lengthy prophecy, he wrote the Book of laments (Lamentations). He was ridiculed, rejected, and thrown into the mud of an empty cistern with no food or water. Daniel was thrown into a den of hungry lions. Zechariah was put to death in the temple (2 Chron. 24:20-22).Job: Trust God even when you don't understand (James 5:11)Job was a righteous man who lost everything—except his wife—but she told him to curse God and die. His friends were certain that Job had committed a sin. And although he suffered, God never explained why. Still, Job remained steadfast in his trust (Job 13:15).--------DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOOREGet Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.CAREGIVINGDo you have a need we can pray for?

Throughout Scripture, God warns us about the seductive power of money. Jesus likens it to a completing god and says our treasure becomes the focus of our heart (Matt. 6:21-24). Paul instructs Timothy, the young pastor in Ephesus, to warn people about the love of money and how the desire for more wealth has left people spiritually shattered (1 Tim. 6:10, 17).In today's passage, James describes the wealthy who live apart from God. Their demise is a grim encouragement to the poor Jewish believers being taken advantage of. And the demise of the godless rich serves as a stark warning to those who follow Jesus.1. Is wealth a competing god?2. Is your wealth causing you to be spiritually soft?3. Have you ever had a serious conversation with God about your wealth? Why did he bless you with it? What does he want you to do with it?--------DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOOREGet Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.CAREGIVINGDo you have a need we can pray for?

Pray for the Church. In this moment of time in our nation, the harvest is ripe for souls to turn to Jesus Christ by faith, if the Church is unified for the Gospel. Pray that we would come together in unity as Jesus prayed in John 17, that through our unified Gospel proclamation the world would trust in Him.John 17:20-21 - “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
“If the Lord wills” is a bold statement of God's Sovereignty.“If the Lord wills” is a bold statement of determined obedience.“If the Lord wills” is a bold statement of Christ-like humility.Self-centered bragging must be replaced by God-honoring trust.--------DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOOREGet Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.CAREGIVINGDo you have a need we can pray for?

How can we know for certain that we have saving faith? 1. Do I have a present trust in Christ for salvation?“Believes” is in the present tense denoting continual action. Are you continuing to trust Jesus?2. Is there evidence of the Holy Spirit at work in your heart?· Presence of the Spirit (Rom. 8:13-16)· Fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:13-23)3. Do you read the Bible and pray regularly?God's Word is his love letter to you. A true believer desires to hear from him. I am not saying you should doubt your salvation if you have missed a few days. But if you never pick up the Bible? There needs to be a desire to hear from God. 4. Is there a pattern of obedience in your life?5. Are you involved in Christian fellowship?--------DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOOREGet Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.CAREGIVINGDo you have a need we can pray for?

Showing partiality based on outward appearance will always be a temptation for believers. In the Old Testament, the prophet Samuel was a godly and courageous man willing to speak the Word of God in the most unpopular and sometimes dangerous circumstances. But Israel rejected the old prophet and desired to have a king like the other nations. The first king they chose was impressive in appearance—a big man with a shriveled heart. Finally, God rejected him.God sent Samuel to Bethlehem to find a man named Jesse. One of Jesse's sons would be the next king. Jesse brought his sons before Samuel.1 Samuel 16:6-7When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, “Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him.” But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”We are impressed by outward appearance. God is impressed with our hearts.--------DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOOREGet Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.CAREGIVINGDo you have a need we can pray for?
