The same God who got you through this problem can get you through that problem.

Dr. Tony Evans talks about the Lord's unending faithfulness.

The reason you'll be able to look forward to the future is that the God of the past is still alive.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, author, speaker, senior pastor of Oaklef Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, and president of the Urban Alternative.

When it comes to gratitude, people tend to be forgetful.

As the saying goes, what have you done for me lately?

Well, today Dr. Evans jogs our memories as he explains what God's goodness and our past has to do with our confidence for the future.

Let's join him.

God delivered Israel from Egypt, but he took them on a journey of development so that they could reach destiny, the Promised Land, their freedom.

It was the goal of the deliverance to set them free to develop in order that they might be made ready for destiny.

Joshua is now on the precipice of crossing the Jordan River, he is on the precipice of the Promised Land, freedom, destiny, where God was trying to take them, the land of Canaan.

They're getting ready to cross the Jordan.

He now comes to Joshua and he gives him some instruction.

He says, in verse 2, Moses, my servant is dead, therefore cross this Jordan.

Now, what was Moses' job? Moses' job was to get him out of Egypt and lead him through the Promised Land.

What does God come and tell Joshua? That time is over.

Moses was great, Moses was wonderful, but that was then this is now.

One of the reasons that so many of us can't move on to tomorrow is because we're still stuck in yesterday.

I'm as old school as the next man, but that comes the place where you must move on to your destiny.

You must move on to your tomorrow, you must move on to your future.

And he says, Joshua, it's time to go forward.

Yesterday had its place, Egypt had its role.
