Scripture: Joshua 1:1-9 Summary of Book: Purpose of Writing: The Book of Joshua provides an overview of the military campaigns to conquer the land area that God had promised. Following the exodus from Egypt and the subsequent forty years of the wilderness wanderings, the newly-formed nation is now poised to enter the Promised Land, conquer the inhabitants, and occupy the territory. The overview that we have here gives abbreviated and selective details of many of the battles and the manner in which the land was not only conquered but how it was divided into tribal areas. Application: Repetition is a good thing, especially as we age gracefully with the Lord. Joshua was told what to do but God takes it upon Himself to tell him once more, almost as if to confirm His support. Prayer: Lord, please speak to me again... |
