Bible Answer: Joshua was a man who displayed obedience and loyalty to God. Joshua was specifically chosen to lead the Israelites into the Promise Land. He became uniquely qualified (along with Caleb) when they returned from spying out the land and gave encouraging reports to the people. The other 10 spies were negative and fearful, not believing that God's promises, to go before them and deliver their enemies into their hands, were yea and amen. In Joshua, chapter 1:6,7,9 and 18, God specifically commands and encourages Joshua to be strong and courageous as he goes in to possess the land. (God is actually talking to Joshua!) Joshua obeys all God's commands and instructions and conquers Jericho for the LORD. (Actually the LORD delivers Jericho into Israel's hands.) Only one time in the entire record of Joshua does he not seek out God. That was the first time Israel tried to conquer Ai. That is from Joshua chapter 7. Chapter 7 verse 6 demonstrates Joshua's repentence of not seeking God's direction in the attempt at Ai. This demostrated something that the Israelites had a hard time doing…repenting and telling God of their sorrow of sinning against Him.(Don't we do that still today?) As you read the entire book of Joshua, and you really should, look for the comparisons of Joshua to Jesus. Joshua as a warrior provided the home for Israel. Jesus goes to prepare a place for us in heaven. Joshua drove out Israel's enemies. Jesus comes into our life and drives out our strongholds, He changes us. Joshua obeyed God, drove out the enemies and Israel had rest. Jesus obeyed His Father, and goes to provide a rest for all who believe! Thank You Lord Jesus. |
