The Max Lucado Encouraging Word Podcast

Hi, friend. Happy New Year! If you’re resolving to pray more this year — and shouldn’t we all? — this episode is for you.  There is a remarkable story in Joshua chapter 10. While in battle, the Hebrews needed more daylight. Joshua asks God to stop the sun from setting, and God does. Verse 14 says, “God took orders from a human voice.” How’s that for a reminder that God listens to our prayers? 

Happy New Year, friends. Here's a special message for you as you step into the New Year.

Every day we choose who and what to listen to. There are hundreds of channels on our televisions, millions of people sharing their opinions online. But only one voice will guide you to the Promised Land. Choose to trust the voice of God. 

Merry Christmas, friend! I pray this season brings you joy and peace and the hope that Christ, who came as a baby, is coming again. 

Hello, friend. Thank you for joining me for another Encouraging Word.  What does trust have to do with greed? According to Joshua chapter 7, quite a lot. This passage reminds us that looking for security in anything or anyone other than God will always let us down.
