Hello, friend.

This is Max Lakato.

Thanks for tuning in.

It's an honor to be with you.

As we study God's word together,

may our time uplift and encourage you.

If you could use some hope, I pray you find it here today.

This week, we're concluding our study of Joshua and the Israelites' journey to the promised

land.

When I originally preached these messages at my church in San Antonio, Texas, we began each

service with a Glory Days declaration.

I want to share it with you today and invite you to recite it with me wherever you're listening.

These days are glory days. My past is past. My future is bright. God's promises are true,

and His word is sure. With God is my helper, I will be all he wants me to be, do all he wants me to do,

and receive all he wants me to receive. These are glory days. Well, today we bring to an end our

study through the book of Joshua. And I can't think of a better way to

strengthen our faith than to consider the story of Joshua. Here's the context in case you don't know

or have forgotten. The story of Joshua involves seven years of unbridled success in the history of the nation of Israel.

Anyone who's looked at the Bible knows that the Bible doesn't pretend that the chosen people

of God, the Hebrews, were perfect people. You're not far into the book, and you see Abraham

had too many wives and Esau told too many lies.
