Understand that God’s word will not fail. Let’s look at the journey of the Israelites. After the death of Moses, the Israelites needed a new leader.

After the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them- to give to the Israelites. (Joshua 1:1-2 NIV)

Moses died before he got to the Promised Land and God needed to fulfill His promise to Abraham. So, God chose Joshua to continue from where Moses had stopped.

Since he had been an aide to Moses, he was the best fit for the job of leading the descendants of Jacob to the promised land.

He also fought many wars to win land for his kinsmen. God also showed and used His great power during this period.

Through praise, he had the wall of Jericho fall down so that the Israelites could defeat the people of Jericho.

The Jordan also parted for the Israelites to walk through it just like the Red Sea, in the time of Moses.

The sun stood still so the Israelites could win their fight against the Amorites (chapter 10) and victories over many more battles.

It was in Joshua’s time that each tribe of Israel received their portion of the land promised them by God.

God was with Joshua just like He was with Moses. He did everything He promised. He gave provision and protection as always.

On any adventure, God always watches over His children.

May the Lord be with you always. Amen.

Prayer :

Lord, as you were with Joshua, be with me also. Help me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
