Entering a New Year With Faith

How are we entering this new year? Are we hopeful? Do we know that God is doing a new thing? God is doing a new thing in Joshua and the Israelites are entering the Promise Land. God tells Joshua, their new leader, 3 times to be strong and courageous. He also tells him to not afraid and that He is with him. As we enter this year are we being strong and courageous? Do we have faith that God is with us? Rahab does have faith, and risks her life to protect the spies Joshua sends to Jericho. Rahab knew God's power and knew that God does what He says He is going to do. In Luke, Mary has faith like this too. As we enter this new year, we can hold onto faith tight just like Joshua, Rahab and Mary.
