As Nancy Lee DeMoss explains, early in his career, Joshua was called to fight while his mentor prayed.

And he would see Moses uplifted hands and that staff in his hands.

And what an encouragement that would be to the troops below and to Joshua as he was leading those troops.

As they saw Moses reaching up to heaven on their behalf and they were

reminded of the source of their

strength and their faith

for the battle was fueled.

This is Revive Our Hearts

with Nancy Lee-Demoss for Tuesday,

August 5th.

Music Lee-Demoss for Tuesday, August 5th. Yesterday, Nancy showed you how to lean on God's strength when you're faced with a big

dreaded task.

That was part of a series called Lessons from the Life of Joshua Part 1, Learning to Be Victorious.

It's one of several series you'll hear this year on Joshua here on Revive Our Hearts.

Here's Nancy.

We've just started into a study on the Life of Joshua, and as we said a couple of sessions

ago, the life of Joshua kind of breaks down into

different seasons. We're looking at him right now as a younger man. He's learning the things that

he needs to understand in order to fulfill God's ultimate purpose for his life. So he's learning

to be obedient. He's learning to be a good follower. Good followers make better leaders. And he is learning to be faithful. He's learning to depend on the Lord. He's a younger man who is learning how to engage in battle. And the day will come when he is the leader, when he is the one giving the instructions. And he needs everything he's getting at this point to prepare him for that day for his later years when he will be a leader, and then for his last years of his life when he will be leaving a legacy.

I know we have, and I'm so thankful that we have a lot of younger women who listen to revive our hearts.

And I want to just say how thankful I am that
