Max Lucado Devotional 26 July 2024: A New Plan
READ TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR 26TH JULY 2024 BY MAX LUCADO
TODAY’S TOPIC: A NEW PLAN
Begin again. Fresh starts require a determined first step. You can’t change yesterday, but you can do something about tomorrow. Put God’s plan in place.
God told Joshua to revisit the place of failure. In Joshua 8:1 he said, “Arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land” (Joshua 8:1 NKJV). In essence, God told Joshua, “Let’s begin again. This time my way.”
In the first attack, Joshua consulted spies; in the second, he listened to God. In the first, he stayed home. In the second, he led the way. The first attack involved a small unit, the second involved many more men. The first attack involved no tactics, the second was strategic and sophisticated.
The point? God gave Joshua a new plan. “Begin again,” he said. “My way.” When he followed God’s strategy, victory happened. And friend, the same will happen to you.
