Never breaks His covenant
Judges 2:1 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. I love reading the Scripture and […]
Jesus is Eternal
Photo by Timothy Eberly on Unsplash John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. The religious leaders of Israel could only see Jesus as a regular man. He was making it abundantly clear that He was God. The “false spiritual” people reminded Jesus that they were […]
Too strong
Judges 1:19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. The Lord blessed Judah as he took possession of the land God had promised and given him. He drove out the people […]
Do what you promised
Joshua 22:5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with […]

He always keeps His Word
Joshua 21:45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass. One of the most reassuring truths I find as I read the Bible is that God keeps His Word. Men fail often. God never fails. Others do not keep their promises. […]

His coming will be obvious to all
Luke 17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. Jesus will return to the earth one day. He will come in great power. Jesus will make an appearance that all will […]

Taxing instead defeating
Joshua 17:13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out. God told the Israelites to destroy and utterly drive out the pagan nations that had inhabited the land. The point was that those nations worshipped false […]

Getting old
Joshua 13:1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. Joshua has led the Israeli army across the Jordan River. He directed the battles. God used Joshua to divide up much of […]

Following instructions
Joshua 11:15 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses. God had told Moses what to do. Moses told Joshua what to do. Joshua had obeyed. He did everything he was told to do by God […]

Fear God not man
Joshua 10:25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. It was the Lord that had fought for Israel against Gibeon. God had cast great stones from heaven. The rocks that fell from […]

Foolish living
Joshua 9:14 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD. A recurring problem in the life of the nation of Israel is that they do not seek the Lord to know what His will is. They move and act without thinking and praying. The Gibeonites have […]

Back to the Bible
Joshua 8:34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law. Thirty-six men had died. The army had been defeated. Joshua was discouraged. He sought the Lord and found out the cause of the problem. He found out […]

Depressed and Discouraged
Joshua 7:7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan! Achan had sinned against God taking what the prohibited. Joshua […]
The Real Reason
Joshua 4:24 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever. Joshua had led the nation of Israel to the Jordan River. After the people were across the river, God wanted them to have a reminder. […]

God spoke to Joshua. He told Joshua that […]

Have you heard?
Joshua 2:10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. Joshua had sent two men […]

Choose
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: God wants His people to obey Him. He makes that abundantly clear. The nation and each individual must choose. […]

Consequences of disobedience
Deuteronomy 28:45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: God wanted to bless His people. He had first told them […]
