Joshua believe and trust God...I really like this passage..it encourages me this morning even with a clearer understanding..thank you...if jesus say do it then do it
God was telling Joshua to be strong, and of a good courage. Joshua mighty man of God. Obedient to God and Moses. God was preparing him to take over from Moses. Both God and Moses could rely on him. The people recognized that God was with him, they were not putting up with any form of rebellion. People would be put to death. Rahab and the spies. They kept their word. She is in the genealogy. Amen.

God has given us commandment in his word on how to govern ourselves accordingly and " HE WILL " until the day he return, fullfil it. In this 1st chapter of Joshua he give some instructions to follow and assure us of his promise to reward us according to our actions to perform in obedience.
It's amazing to me and a bit scarring to know God COMMANDED us (thru Joshua) to have courage and not fear, BUT WE DO! Is it because V8.. NOT meditating on the Word!!' (day and night) Selah
Joshua is great inpiration to me as a child of God. His dedication and unwavering support to Moses earned him the choice of God to lead God's people into the promised land after the death of Moses.
The book of the law is the word of God. We are commanded not to allow it depart from our mouth. The word of God must be meditated upon all the time. It is in doing this that we make our way prosperous and have good success. Our prosperity and success in life depends our been strong and courageous to keep the word of God all the time
Hallelujah to these passages from Joshua. I love the fact their was a true follower of Christ Jesus and Moses. I too am waiting on the promised Land in my life.
Shalome,I was queit sad to read Moses passed,I was so happy for Moses when God shewed his Grace by shewing Moses the Land he was leading his children to,I cried in rejoice when I read that and said Thank You to GOD,I cried when Moses passed,I have been going on this journey with them all,he was blessed to have such prolonged days,now we know they will forsake GOD in his passing,how sad,peace be2U.
Joshua has been empowered by God to lead the Israelites on the last lap of their 40-year journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. It is a honour to serve the Lord.
Linda, when one use's someone else's words, one should give the person [you heard use the words ] the credit, I too heard him say that in his [yesterday] Lord's Day message! - I intend to read those verses ch 1, 1 to 9 Lord willing all this week
Trust and obey the Lord our God. Whatever He says He will do, that is what He will do. That is why He is called Jehovah. Be steadfast in the Lord. May His will be done in Jesus name amen.
