Joshua 1:16-18 Confirm

16So they answered Joshua, “Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go. 17Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. And may the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses. 18Anyone who rebels against your order and does not obey your words, all that you command him, will be put to death. Above all, be strong and courageous!”


Confirm-Confirmation 

“The representatives from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh say the same thing to Joshua that he heard from the Lord in Joshua 1:6. This must have been a confirmation of God’s word to Joshua when they said it. God loves to confirm His word to us.” (Guzik)


Years ago we received confirmation from the Lord about moving. We prayed about it and searched for homes, after going through a two page list it was a bust. My realtor mentioned an area to explore and when I saw one my heart sang! After some negotiations we purchased it. Then came the task of selling our home of 29 years, packing and getting rid of things. We listed the home with a realtor and it hit the market on a Friday at noon. Saturday night at church my wife was talking to a friend and told her we were moving. After a short conversation she says, are we viewing your house tomorrow? Well the Lord works in mysterious ways! Yes they were! They had been looking for a year and their realtor told them that their dream home didn’t exist. Fifty six hours after hitting the market we had a signed contract! We hadn’t expected to move until the following spring but the Lord said, move now! He confirmed His word with us!


Have you ever received confirmation from the Lord?

Blessings
