Today’s Scripture:
\nAnd he said to the people, \u201cProceed, and march around the city, and let him who is armed advance before the ark of the LORD.\u201d<\/em>
\nJoshua 6:7<\/p>\n

Today’s Thoughts:
\nJust as God spoke to Joshua regarding Jericho, so He can and will speak to us believers through His Holy Spirit who resides within us.
\nIf the Lord is speaking to you regarding a plan or activity that you have been praying to Him about, then be sure to listen carefully as to what He is telling you, and then proceed to do whatever He is requesting you to do.<\/p>\n

Today’s Prayer:
\nDear Lord,
\nI feel that You want me to move forward with these plans of mine, so please give me the strength to carry out them out as You have determined.
\nI want to listen carefully to Your instructions and walk closely in Your Spirit’s guidance, so that I can accomplish what You have called me to do.
\nThank You that You have given me direction, I now pray that I may listen and follow and do as You have said.<\/p>\n

Today’s Action: Proceed.
\nIf the Lord has spoken to you about your plans, then be sure to listen carefully and do exactly as He has told you.
\nIf you are acting according to His orders, then you will succeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
