Word

• Have you ever got lost driving?  Where was it?
• Read Joshua1 :1-5
• With the death of Moses, Joshua begins a new stage of his life.  What have been some of the significant stages of your life?  How have your felt God guiding in those stages?
• Read Philippians 3:14-15. What can we learn about God’s leading from this verse?
• Read: Psalm 37:23. How does God order our steps?
• What does Andy Stanley mean when he says, “direction, not intention, determines your destination. Small, consistent actions (increments) in a certain direction lead to a specific destination over time.”?
• What does the promise of God, “never leaving or forsaking you” mean to you?
• What is something that you can practically apply from this lesson?
