Greetings! Today, Kate and Sheila dive in recapping the book of Joshua!
This scripture is just as powerful today as it was in Joshua’s, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord you God is with you wherever you go.” 1:9. Followed by …”choose this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Spoken like a godly man with a purpose!
This book packs quite a punch! Here’s an acrostic on Joshua to get us going.
Jericho-epic battle!
Over and over he’s told to be strong and courageous
Served the Lord wholeheartedly
His mentor was Moses
Unwavering leadership-Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua
Asked for the sun to stand still
We gleaned so much from reading Joshua and we hope you did too. Thank you for joining us!
Have a blessed day!
PS Notice there is a curse in 6:26 about rebuilding the city of Jericho. It was fulfilled 530 years later when Hiel lost his firstborn and his youngest in 1Kings 16:34.
