Good morning.
We are in Joshua this morning.
Be strong and courageous said The LORD to Joshua.
Verse 5 is a promise: 5 No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Wouldn’t you like a promise like that? Can you think of a similar New Testament promise, by the way, the Old Testament promise is still valid. Hebrews 13:5
Do you think the promise of verse 5 helped Joshua to be strong and courageous? Do you have verses of Scripture memorized that help you to be strong and courageous?
Chapter 2 of Joshua opens with Rehab welcoming the Spies and the Spies have no names.
Actually, I am certain they do have names but their names are not recorded for us. Our names don’t have to be known for GOD to do great work, do they?
Rehab, the harlot, that’s the name she is known by, but what I remember about Rehab is who she became when she believed GOD.
Who could we become if we would just believe GOD?


Children left alone to find GOD alone is most sad to me and I think GOD is not pleased with parents who adopt the way of the evil one to not influence their children to choose GOD; who do not study Scripture for themselves, nor intentionally and consistently read and impart Scripture to their children. I think this from the verses above.
