The Next Step for our ETJ Podcast Scott Pauley

Learning to Live in the Presence of God SLIDE_16x9

It is a pleasure to walk through God’s Word with so many of you on our daily podcast. The paths of Scripture are full of adventure and spiritual refreshment! Thank you for being a fellow traveler as we seek to follow our tour guide, the Holy Spirit.

The Lord Jesus said of the Holy Spirit, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth…” (John 16:13). This is my prayer as we approach the Bible: Holy Spirit, guide us into all the truth that God has for us.

Today we conclude our journey through Psalm 23. Every episode of The Shepherd in the Shadows is available in the ETJ archive. What a treasure to know that our Good Shepherd is continuing to lead us all!

So, what is the next step in our Enjoying the Journey study?

On Monday we begin a brand new series in Genesis through the life of Joseph. This study will coincide with our recently released book, The Lord was with Joseph. I hope you will obtain a digital, audio, or physical copy of the book for yourself. You may find out more about the new resource at enjoyingthejourney.org/joseph.

Our podcast series will follow Joseph through the ups and downs of his journey, and discover the one constant of his life. From youth through old age, through his blessings and burdens, we learn how to live consciously in the presence of God. May God teach us all how to walk in God’s presence every day!

I look forward to joining you in Scripture again next week…

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
