What if the anxiety we feel is not just a burden to bear, but actually a signal worth paying attention to? This message takes us deep into the idea that anxiety functions like a warning light, alerting us that the enemy is attempting to derail us before we reach the greatness God has prepared for us. Drawing from the story of Joshua in Joshua 7, we see how even a seasoned leader, fresh off a miraculous victory at Jericho, can fall into the trap of forecasting a fearful future that never comes to pass. Joshua's anguished prayer to God paints a picture many of us know well, where we begin describing to God a catastrophe that exists only in our anxious imagination. God's response is striking and direct: get up. Rather than validating the spiral, God redirects Joshua toward strategy and forward movement. The parallel to our own lives is impossible to ignore. We are invited to recognize when anxiety is pulling us five, seven, ten steps ahead of where we actually are, and to choose instead to stand firm in the truth that God already knows the outcome. This is not a message that dismisses the reality of struggle, but one that reframes it entirely, reminding us that a target on our back is also a sign that God has something worth protecting in us.
