Joshua 13:1-14:15 * Luke 18:1-17
Psalm 85:1-13 * Proverbs 13:7-8
"When Joshua was an old man, the LORD said to him, 'You are growing old,
and much land remains to be conquered.'"
Joshua 13:1
Do you ever have those days where you feel a bit old, and a bit surprised at how much yet-to-be-conquered land you still have within you? I’m shocked at the sins and emotions I still dwell uncomfortably with, and am often left thinking, “I was just positive that by the time I was this age, this struggle would be gone for good.” It can feel overwhelming to know there are still unconquered fields of carnality and barrenness, but even on those discouraging days God gives us the strength and power to continue taking territory from the enemy. Caleb became a great example of this for us in Joshua 14. Eighty-five years old, still filled with faith in the God who had promised him that he would possess the land.
"You will remember that as scouts we found the descendants of Anak living there in great walled towns! But if the LORD is with me, I will drive them out of the land, just as the LORD said… Because he wholeheartedly followed the LORD, the God of Israel."
(Joshua 14:11-12, 14)
To wholeheartedly follow God means there was no room left in his heart for anything but God. No wonder he had faith, fearlessness, bravery, and boldness! Years before they were written, Caleb was living by the words, “If God be for us who can be against us?” Jesus echoed this tenacity in Luke today.
"One day Jesus told His disciples a story to show that they should
always pray and never give up."
(Luke 18:1)
In and of ourselves we can conquer nothing, but as we continue to press into prayer, our mighty God marches ahead of us and brings about great victory. There will still be days where we feel our age and feel overwhelmed by the amount yet to be conquered for Jesus within our lives, knowing we’re unable to change ourselves. BUT GOD! As He pours out His grace and righteousness upon us, He is more than able to cleanse us, change us, and make us more than conquerors in Him.
"Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven. Righteousness goes as a herald before Him preparing the way for His steps."
(Psalm 85:10, 11, 13)
Only our great God could cause righteousness and peace to kiss within our lives! Only our great God could prepare a path of righteousness that we could walk upon! This is a God who is worthy of being wholeheartedly followed!
"The rich can pay a ransom for their lives, but the poor won't even get threatened."
(Proverbs 13:8)
There are days where my unconquered land seems magnified and my spirit feels extremely cognizant of its poverty, knowing there is nothing within me that’s worthy of a paid ransom. But the greatness of God overshadows our unconquered lands with His promise of finishing every good work He’s started within us. There will be a day when righteousness and peace will kiss in our lives, and the promises of conquered land will be fulfilled. What a glorious day that will be, Maranatha!
"And the land had rest from war."
Joshua 14:15

Joshua 7:16-9:2 * Luke 16:1-18
Psalm 82:1-8 * Proverbs 13:2-3
"If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities."
Luke 16:10
God is constantly teaching us how to have His perspective on the inner workings of life, rather than our own. We tend to unintentionally think of the “large and seen” as the most important, but God knows it’s a thousand small moments that lead to the overall direction of a life, so He continues to draw our eyes to the smallest of details. God has beautiful things that He wants to do in and through each one of us, but those callings can only come to full fruition when we have integrity and honesty in the tiniest places of our hearts.
"Then Joshua said to Achan, 'My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, by telling the truth. Make your confession and tell me what you have done. Don't hide it from me." (Joshua 7:19)
I’m not quite sure how Achan thought he would get away with all of this, but sin and covetousness blind us to the truths of who God is. He presides over heaven’s courts and rises to judge the earth. (Psalm 82)
Nothing is hidden from God! Achan had stolen a Babylonian garment, two hundred silver coins, and a bar of gold. His excuse was…
"I wanted them so much that I took them." (Joshua 7:21)
Unchecked covetousness blinds our minds to reality and has been the ruin of many. Don’t you wonder what Achan was thinking here? Everything was buried beneath his tent. Obviously, this wasn’t his permanent home, and they still had much land to conquer. Was he thinking he would dig everything up and carry it around the promise land each time they moved? And wouldn’t you love to know where he was planning on wearing his fancy, new Babylonian garment? It seems like an outfit that would stick out a bit! Sin removes all rational from our minds and causes us to only think of the here and now. We see; we want; we take. But God has so much more for us.
"If you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?" (Luke 16:11)
This world and its treasures are passing away, and heavenly rewards are all that are worth chasing after since they’re all we can really keep. Achan’s life was wasted in pursuing the fleeting. And doesn’t it seem like God was giving him chance after chance to repent? He could have come forward when the thirty-six men died, and the Israelites were chased out of Ai. He could have stopped the slow procession of tribe, clan, family, and individual men coming before God. He knew he was guilty, and I just wonder if everything would have ended differently had he just come clean and repented before he was called out. Unconfessed sin will always ultimately lead to humiliation and destruction!
"Wise words will win you a good meal." (Proverbs 13:2)
There is nothing so cleansing and healing as being washed with the wise words of God, so we see Joshua gather the people together on the mountaintops and read out every word of the law, just like God had commanded him to. Every word of Scripture is pure, God-breathed, and profitable! May we, like Israel here, be washed consistently with the wisdom of God so we can be made whole, clean, and ready for battle. May His word give us integrity in the little things, honesty in the secret parts, and a passion for nothing but His kingdom! "It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the smallest point of God's law to be overturned." Luke 16:17

Joshua 5:1-7:15 * Luke 15:1-32
Psalm 81:1-16 * Proverbs 13:1
"I heard an unknown voice say, 'Now I will take the load from your shoulders, I will free your hands from their heavy tasks.'"
Psalm 81:5-6
Sin creates heaviness. God’s heart and purpose has always been to take weighted-down sinners and teach us to instead take up His easy yoke and light burden. Letting God empower us with the power of the Holy Spirit enables us to follow in His paths of obedience to find relief and peace.
"A wise child accepts a parent’s discipline; a mocker refuses to listen to correction"
(Proverbs 13:1)
May God's wisdom fill our hearts as we seek to obey Him because all our freedom and joy is found in His presence. This is why…
"There is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven't strayed away."
(Luke 15:7)
God knows the bondage sin brings, and longs for us to have the freedom that comes from obedience. There is a sense of wholeness found in a life lived wholly unto the LORD, and God longs for us to feel the relief of having the weight of sin lifted off our shoulders.
"Oh that My people would listen to Me! Oh that Israel would follow Me, walking in My paths! How quickly I would then subdue their enemies! How soon My hands would be upon their foes!"
(Psalm 81:13-14)
God has our perfect desires in mind. How much greater it is to trust in His wisdom than to follow our own! We see a perfect picture of this truth in Joshua today. (Joshua 5-7) The walls of Jericho must have looked massively impossible, so God called for a silent march, knowing how our words of discouragement have great power to weaken ourselves and others. The silence would have caused them to lean into prayer rather than speaking out their doubt and fear. Wouldn’t you love to know what silent prayers were prayed that day? I bet I can guess, because I know what I would be praying! We can be so quick to talk of impossibility, but what wisdom is found in being silent before God in prayer as we watch His battle plans unfold. God, in His might and strength had gone before them and caused their enemies to have…
"lost heart… because of them." (Joshua 5:1)
Then, with a mighty shout in the dead center of God's plan, the impossible and impenetrable walls were knocked over and the great city was conquered! But even with great victory, the ensnares of the enemy and the weight of sin are never far behind. This is why we always must be on guard! Whether we’re talking about the sin of Achan in Joshua, the prodigal son in Luke 15, or our own personal weights of sin, God knows that those paths just lead to heaviness, starvation, destruction, and disgust. If we will just follow His paths of obedience and purity, we will always find places of victory and God’s might along the way. The heart of the Father longs to run to us, embrace us, kiss us, and celebrate our returning, from the tiniest of sins to the greatest! How He longs to make us victorious in sin and battles and to fill our lives with His goodness, freedom, peace, satisfaction, contentment, and joy.
"Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things... I would feed you with the finest wheat. I would satisfy you with wild honey from the rock."

Joshua 3:1-4:24 * Luke 14:7-35
Psalm 80:1-19 * Proverbs 12:27-28
"Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? Flavorless salt is good neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown away.
Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand."
Luke 14:34-35
What is God currently doing in and through our lives today? It’s not a question of what He has done in the past, or what we think He might do in the future, but do we see Him at work in our lives today? Flavorless salt is still salt. If you look at it, you would call it salt. If you held it in your hand, it would feel like salt. The only difference is that it has lost its ability to change the taste of food and lost its potency to help heal wounds and preserve. As Christians we should be taste-changers and wound-healers. We’ve all met those who have grown apathetic in their walks with God. They rest in the fact that they “are salt” and “look like salt,” though they have stopped living out their salty-purpose long ago. Potent salt creates a current thirst, and if the world is not thirsty for God because of what they see in us, it might be time to have a heart-check-appointment with God.
"For the LORD your God dried up the river right before your eyes, and He kept it dry until you were all across, just as He did at the Red Sea when He dried it up until we had all crossed over."
(Joshua 4:23)
For so long, the Israelites had heard of the work God did in their past generations, but here we see God at work in their current lives as well. He is always ready with a new work as He reveals His faithfulness in each generation. I love reading about God’s revival work in all the days behind us, but don’t you want to see Him bringing revival upon this current generation as well?
"Purify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do great wonders among you."
(Joshua 3:5)
May we have ears that are open to God’s Words and allow Him to purify us with new saltiness today.
"So his master said, 'Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come so that the house will be full."
(Luke 14:23)
Whether we have the gift of evangelism, or we're doing the work of an evangelist, may we be filled with the salty passion and purpose of bringing people into the banqueting feast of God.
"Turn us again to Yourself, O God of Heaven's Armies. Make Your face to shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved."
(Psalm 80:7)
God wants to shine down upon us and fight on our behalf.
"You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land."
(Ps. 80:9)
God wants to part the seas before us to bring us in and clear the land that we might take root. He has not called us to a passive, resting-on-your-old-laurels life. This life that Jesus has redeemed us for us is to be an ever-salty, counting the cost, leaving all, hating everything in comparison, picking up our crosses daily, following Him, building stones of remembrance, and passionately telling the future generations about the kingdom of God kind of life. I pray the world would taste our saltiness today!

Deuteronomy 34:1- Joshua 2:24 * Luke 13:22-14:6
Psalm 79:1-13 * Proverbs 12:26
"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything in everything you do. Study the Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do."
Joshua 1:7-8
Today we see our sweet God take Moses up on the mountain, and He…
"showed him the whole land"
(Deuteronomy 34:1)
God had accomplished all through Moses that He intended and desired from his life, and it was time for him to be joined with his ancestors in his true heavenly home. His instruction through Moses was complete, and generations to come had God’s Words of life written down because of Mo’s faithful obedience. Can you imagine the sweetness between the two of them as they went up the mountain and looked at the land together? And if that wasn’t beautiful enough…
"The LORD buried him"
(Deuteronomy 34:6)
I think this must be one of the most tender moments in all the Bible! God buries Moses Himself, and then guides him into the true promise land of his heavenly home. No more worry or pain. No more complaining people or weary moments: just rest from a life that had been busy about the business of God. Do you ever wonder why we fear death? Our God gives us the ability to enjoy homecomings, reuniting’s, rest, and relaxation, so won’t heaven be the completion of all of those? Imagine how wonderful it will be to enter into our rest after we’ve given our earthly all for God! We see Jesus today…
"always pressing on toward Jerusalem."
(Luke 13:22)
He knew where He had to be in order to save our souls, and He wasn't about to be stopped by human fear.
"At that time some Pharisees said to Jesus, 'Get away from here if you want to live! Herod Antipas wants to kill you!' Jesus replied, 'Go tell that fox that I will keep on casting out demons and healing people today and tomorrow; and the third day I will accomplish My purpose.'"
(Luke 13:31-32)
Jesus gives us such a picture of strength as He digs in deep to the Holy Spirit’s perseverance, regardless of death threats or fear. The Pharisees were threatening the life of Jesus, having no idea that His death was the very purpose of His earthly arrival.
"the people were watching Him closely"
(Luke 14:1)
We have the tendency to slow down with fear when people are watching us with a critical eye, but Jesus helps us walk with tenacity toward our calling and purpose, regardless of who may be watching and what they might be saying.
"The godly give good advice to their friends."
(Proverbs 12:26)
We’re blessed if we have friends with godly wisdom, but ultimately our lives still come down to the call of God upon us and our determination to live a life pleasing to Him alone. God’s kind of prosperity and success is found as we meditate on His words and find all the strength and wisdom needed to obey the steps of victory that He calls us to take. May we let the word of God challenge us, fill us with wisdom, and enable us to accomplish our life-purposes in our short time here on earth!

Deuteronomy 18:1-20:20 * Luke 9:28-50
Psalm 73:1-28 * Proverbs 12:10
"John said to Jesus, 'Master we saw someone casting out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn't in our group.' But Jesus said, 'Don't stop him! Anyone who is not against you is for you.'"
Luke 9:49-50
Our words hold more power than I think we’re often aware of, and sometimes we unintentionally use them to discourage others in their journeys with Jesus. Here we see that the disciples used their words and authority to discredit an unfamiliar work, and Jesus rebukes them for their ignorance. God works in mysterious ways that are high above our understanding, so why would we presume to have the authority over who He chooses to use, and how He chooses to use them? What a contrast today between the disciples discouraging words and the glorious scene of Jesus in prayer.
"Jesus took Peter, James, and John up on a mountain to pray. And as He was praying, the appearance of His face was transformed, and His clothes became dazzling."
(Luke 9:28-29)
What a beautiful picture of how God transforms our hearts and faces as we pray! He places His dazzling glory upon us, and others are drawn to the Father because of what they see in us as we use our words to seek God. Even as God required the children of Israel to…
“build for themselves cities of refuge”
(Deuteronomy 19:9)
May our words be cities of refuge for each other. May we be like the priests that we read of today…
"When you prepare for the battle, the priest must come forward to speak to the troops. He will say to them... 'Do not be afraid as you go out to fight your enemies today! Do not lose heart or panic or tremble before them. For the LORD your God is going with you.’”
(Deuteronomy 20:2-4)
How encouraging it must have been for the soldiers to hear these words and to be reminded of God's greatness, goodness, protection, and preservation. I pray that, like these priests, our words would be used to bring encouragement and to dispel fear. We read today that the psalmist was struggling with discouragement like we so often can, but was determined not to spread that weakness with his words.
"If I had really spoken this way to others, I would have been a traitor to Your people."
(Psalm 73:15)
God is the source of replenishing our faith when we are faith-less, and it was when this Psalmist came into the house of God that he was able to say…
"I realized that my heart was bitter, and I was torn up inside. Yet I still belong to You."
(Psalm 73:23)
What a privilege to run into the throne room of God with our discouraged and disillusioned hearts, and allow Him to refresh and replenish us within His presence. God’s goodness within us will even show up in the way we treat our animals.
“The godly care for their animals, but the wicked are always cruel.”
(Proverbs 12:10)
God’s Word in our mouths fosters a gentleness and sweetness about us. I'm praying today for our words to be a city of refuge, an enabling force for God's work rather than a discouragement to the vessels that He desires to use! As people see a difference within us, God will shine through us in an even brighter way.
"Awe gripped the people as they saw this majestic display of God's power."

Saturdays
One Year Bible reading schedule for today…
Deuteronomy 16:1-17:20 | Luke 9:7-27 | Psalm 72:1-20 | Proverbs 12:8-9
Happy Easter precious friend!
Don’t you just love Easter? It’s a day filled with the excitement and hope of all that Jesus has done for us and all He is still yet to do. Like so many love to say on this special day,
“He is risen, He is risen indeed!”
In the last few days, I’ve just been pondering that first Easter weekend in my heart…
And I just keep wondering what that first Saturday was like. We celebrate Good Friday with a rejoicing heart, because we know that, though it’s a day that represents darkness, death, and desperation, it was actually a day of atonement, salvation, and victory. We read the sorrowful moments in the Gospels of those around the cross jeering and mocking the seeming inability of Jesus to save Himself, but we know Good Friday was the day Jesus chose not to save Himself so that we could instead be saved.
Easter Sunday is, of course, a glorious day because we’re reminded of all that this day represents… Jesus is alive! He has conquered death and the grave! Our sin is gone! We had no hope of salvation in and of ourselves, but our amazing LORD and Savior has taken our sin and shame upon Himself, and we have been redeemed!
Friday became good as we look back and understand the way our lives have been changed eternally… Easter Sunday is, of course, the most glorious of days… But my heart just keeps wondering what those Saturday emotions would have been like… Saturday would have been their Sabbath, and I just can’t imagine how still and quiet it would have been. I think human tendency is to keep as busy as possible when our hearts are hurting or anxious. Can you imagine how hard it would have been to stay home and sit still after all you had seen and experienced on that dark Friday? It would have been a day of great introspection, wonder, sorrow, and heartbreak.
The disciples and followers of Jesus must have felt like they had lost everything. They had given up so much to follow after Jesus. They had left lives behind, jobs behind, people behind, places behind… and now He was gone and they had been left behind. Maybe on that Saturday all their sacrifices felt a little bit worthless, empty, void, futile, and silly.
All these thoughts were on my heart this morning as I read Luke 9 where Jesus said…
“If anyone wishes to be a follower of mine, he must leave self behind, day after day he must take up his cross, and come with me. Whoever cares for his own safety is lost; but if a man will let himself be lost for my sake, that man is safe. What will a man gain by winning the whole world,
at the cost of his true self?”
Luke 9:23-26 (The New English Bible)
We read these verses on the other side of the cross. We’ve seen the whole picture of the Messiah dying for our sins, and we understand better now what Jesus was talking about. We know we follow Him to our crosses. He doesn’t just push us to some cross that we take up while He sits comfortably on a throne somewhere. We also know that compared to the literal cross Jesus took up for us, our small sacrificial “crosses” that we take up daily can’t even begin to compare with all we receive in the exchange.
But I wonder what His disciples thought about the call to take up a cross, having no idea that the Messiah was about to take up a literal cross for them. In my time of reading Luke over the last few days, there have been so many cross-roads moments that stood out to me, times where Jesus allowed there to be pain in order to bring life, allowed there to be brokenness in order to bring wholeness. I’ve been noticing all the moments where Jesus places His hands into the void to create and sustain life, hope, provision, and promise.
We read this week about Jairus coming to Jesus, pleading for the life of his twelve-year-old daughter. While Jesus was on His way, He lets Himself be stopped by a woman who deeply needed a public acknowledgement of her healing and her faith. This precious girl’s life kind of wrecks my heart, if I’m honest! Can you imagine how hard life had been for her? She had wrestled with this illness for twelve long years. And it wasn’t just a physical health problem. Her issue of bleeding would have made her unclean… for twelve years she was cast out, unwanted, unwelcomed, isolated. Talk about the baggage of rejection! She had spent all she had trying to get rid of this plague upon her life, but to no avail. She was desperate, and she knew if she could just grab a hold of the hem of the garment of Jesus, she could be made whole once more. In an instant her life is changed by the healing love of Jesus. Twelve long years were transformed in a moment by the touch of the Resurrection and the Life upon her.
Twelve years of “Saturdays”… Waiting. Watching. Wondering. And then one day her “Sunday” finally came.
It was in that moment, though, that someone runs up to Jairus and gives him the report that his situation is now hopeless…
“Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further.”
Luke 8:49 (The New English Bible)
The household of Jairus was immediately thrown into a “Saturday,” but Saturdays will never be Saturdays for long with Jesus around. After encouraging the faith of Jairus, and wading through the mockers, Jesus takes the hand of the “sleeping” daughter and speaks life back into her.
Jesus is the resurrection and the life, but before the “Sunday” comes He will often let us sit through the “Saturday,” teaching us to wait on Him, trust in Him, believe in Him, and seek Him.
There was also a moment this week in the reading where Jesus and the disciples were surrounded by a hungry multitude. They were hungry for the words Jesus was speaking into their lives, but they had been with Him in the wilderness for days and they were physically hungry as well. Our compassionate Jesus asks His disciples to feed the multitudes, which only pointed out a hopeless lack to these servants of God. They immediately start pointing out all the problems with what Jesus was asking them to do.
There wasn’t enough money… enough time… enough strength… enough provision. Jesus knew how He was going to feed all these precious people, but He let the disciples feel a “Saturday” before He provided the “Sunday.” Jesus let the disciples feel the lack, feel their own emptiness, see their great inadequacy and need before He placed the provision of the bread and fish within their hands.
The multitude was also feeling a “Saturday” in this moment as well, weren’t they? They had been hungry for days yet kept following Him to hear His words of life. They had no idea that Jesus was about to provide abundantly for their physical needs, and before He filled them up to the brim with food, He allowed them to sit with their hunger.
And it’s after all this takes place- all this provision; all this healing; all this abundance, that Jesus calls out to His disciples and the multitudes to take up their crosses and follow after Him. He let them see the need, the hunger, the death, the desire, and then He showed them that regardless of what they had to pick up, take up, endure, or walk through, that He would always be the answer. He let them know that after a “Saturday” He would always be the “Sunday.”
And isn’t this the whole beautiful point of Easter Sunday? There is death, but He brings life. There is hunger, but He will fill and satisfy. There is pain, but He will heal. There is hopelessness, but He is our hope. Without Jesus we are unbelievably lost, dead, isolated, hopeless, and alone. As we walk with Jesus there will be difficult days where we experience death, despair, hunger, pain, and loss. With Jesus there will be moments where He calls us to take up our cross and follow after Him. But we can have hope in the truth that we are never called to a “Saturday” without the promise of the glorious “Sunday” waiting just around the corner.
The Start of Something New
Hi friends! My name is Christy Duff and I have an un-ending, unquenchable passion for Jesus! I have seen the way that a daily dose of His Word has changed my life, and I know that it can change, bless, and impact every one of us, every day that we live, regardless of the circumstances we may face.
Those of you who know me know that I’m in a little bit of a different season in my life right now. I’ve been married to my darling husband, Jason Duff, for 23 years and we’ve been doing non-stop ministry for our whole married life. About a year ago, I got diagnosed with a bunch of auto-immune disorders (like the rest of the world, right?) and none of them are too dramatic… BUT along with them came an anaphylactic-type-allergy to the very place we’ve lived and ministered in for almost nine beautiful years! Suddenly, I’m living 2 ½ hours away from the church I love, and my poor, sweet husband is having to drive eight hours a week to go back and forth from our house to the church.
Believe me when I say that I know that God is still on His mighty and glorious throne! No doubting going on over in my new little world! I love Jesus with all I am, and I trust Him implicitly, even in the moments where I feel a bit confused. Jesus has never failed us and He’s not about to start! He has good plans for us even in this growing and stretching time. While I have no lack of faith, I must confess that I do have sorrow as I think of all the beautiful faces of the women at our church. I’ve loved every minute that I’ve had the privilege to lead women’s ministry at every church we’ve been a part of, and as I was missing that especially one day, God gave me the idea to start a podcast and a blog.
I’m not sure if people still do that… it seems like I’m a little late for the early- 2000’s train that left the station a while ago… And I also have no idea how to do much of this at all. But here’s what I do know- God put this on my heart, so what can we do but move forward in what He calls us to, right?
I’m grateful for Debbi Bryson, my friend who turned me onto Tyndale’s One Year Bible, and I’m on my 23rd journey through it this year! I know that specific format isn’t for everyone, and you don’t have to read the One Year Bible to be a part of what we’re doing over here. This is just a place where I feel God wants me to share what He’s putting on my heart through His Word, and I hope that you’ll feel blessed and loved by Jesus every time you pop into this place, regardless of where you’re at in your walk with Him, or how you read His Word.
So…I guess this is me launching some type of blog thing, so here we go!
