The apostles “moved on”; they did not fast and pray for a month to find out what they were supposed to do. They preached everywhere and their cue was the word of Eliezer, Abraham’s chief servant: “As for me, being on the way, the Lord led me” (Genesis 24:27). Nowhere does the word tell us to do nothing until we hear God’s instructions; it tells us to put everything into whatever our hand finds to do (Eccl 9,10). Joshua was ready to invade the Promised Land, so God told him to go ahead “for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged!” (Joshua 1:9). All the way God respected Joshua’s decisive leadership and went along with him. The promise of God is that “Whatever he does prospers” – a promise for those whose roots go down into the Word of God, like into fertile soil (Psalm 1:3). “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful” (Joshua 1:8). God bless you and greetings from Florida. REINHARD BONNKE
