  verse in the book of Joshua, Joshua 7 10. So the Lord said to Joshua, rise up, why is it that you
• 0:08
  have fallen on your face? Going down when it's time to do something about it is not the solution.

  Obviously Joshua is on his face recognizing the glory and the awesomeness and the holiness of what
• 0:20
  lie before him, but now God is saying why are you on your face? God was calling on Joshua to take the
• 0:27
  necessary steps now, right now, and to do so he had to get up and treating the Lord or showing
• 0:34
  proper reverence is appropriate, but at a certain moment in time something more than contrition

  is appropriate. God helps you always show proper respect, but also you get to work at the right time.

• 1:28
  doing the things that he has given us to do. He will set aside certain works for us to do if he
• 1:33
  just can. That's how I would encourage you today to get busy serving the Lord in a godly, God-honoring,
• 1:39
  active way.
