Today's Bible Verse: "These are the kings of the land whom the Israelites had defeated and whose land they took possession east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern side of the Arabah." — Joshua 12:1

How do you trust God with what comes next when one season of life is coming to an end? Joshua 12:1 reflects on the victories God had already given Israel, reminding us to look back on His faithfulness as we prepare for the future. When we don't know what lies ahead, remembering how God has guided and sustained us in the past can strengthen our faith, renew our confidence, and help us trust Him with the next chapter.
