Keeping his word makes us stronger and brings us closer to God, we constantly get renewed as we meditate on it, his promised forever stand....in V9 we r further commanded to stay strong and be not afraid cause his word is our shield and our guide. Glory to God
God is no respector of person. Acts 10:34, what he'll do for Joshua, he'll do for me. I believe where ever my feet treads, I can raise my hands before Heaven & ask God to take the blinders from people's minds. That the Glorious Gospel of Christ should be revealed to them, 2 Corin. 4:4 While God has made wonderful provisions for us, He has blessed this Nation & we
should always remember Israel, support her & pray for her.
Reverence to Gods word should always be on our lips. Our thoughts, actions and words should always be mindful of Gods word of instruction and his promises. His word needs to be a living part of our everyday life. Our first love.
Robert Ellis Williams Jr on Joshua 1 - 10 years ago
Joshua was a brilliant follower of the Lords word even before he new Moses was the chosen one and his inner strength love and belief in God was awesome! It brings tears to my eyes and praise to my lips to read about he and there is no doubt in my mind that the light of the Lord can not will not be extinguished ah-man as Moses said from everlasting to everlasting Thou art God.
God give these words to Joshua because He have seen from the inside of Joshua how strong he is and how righteous is Joshua's heart. He knows that Joshua have God the potential to lead but lacks the power of believing in himself. At times we fail to succeed because we have not believed in ourselves... It is the right time to start believing in usssssssssssssssssss!!!
The Word of the Lord is a lamp on your feet and a light unto your path.When the Word of the Lord is in your mouth(speak) you procliam light over darkness, your mind is constanly renew and your tribulations are common. Your ways becomes a revelation and walk in the full understanding of who God is for you.
The book of law, which is the word of God is a medicine prescribed by Doctor Jesus, with a full dosage (day and night) for all His patients so that they can be healed (prosperous and enjoy good success).
l believe Joshua was among the first spies sent by Moses and brought a good report, before they could enter Canaan after leaving Egypt. And now having been watching a whole generation perish in the desert, and another raised to accomplish what first one couldn�t. He was an obedient learner who regretted why they couldn�t have obeyed in first place. He therefore summed up that he and his house shall serve the Lord.
I believe that Joshua was appointed for the position because he was a good follower, humble. God chose him to carry the task out. God is looking for fearless people to trust, obey and understand his word and what he is requiring. God�s desire is to bless you but most of the time, it�s always a CHALLENGE before the blessing.
God's work isn't private property. Ministers should be ready to leave it to someone else to continue. No man is indispensable. God will raise someone to do the work. Just do you part diligently with fear and trembling.
I Am That I Am God made a promise and he kept it. It is now time to see if Joshua took in his training. Follow God's instructions to the 'T', trust him, and everything is going to be more than alright. A strong leader, a Spirit of Promise Joshua, was called forth to ensure the inheritance was distributed according to God's will. Greed and newly found power and freedom are a deadly mix. Joshua help!
Joshua 1 clearly shows that Jehovah needs courageous people in His work. He is very much concerned about His laws that He walks with those He has anointed.
Joshua chapter 1 reveals that to succesfully carryout God's assignment we all need to be strong, and God has done it in such away that nobody will be able to stand against us. Lets continue, God is with us.
Joshua was faithful and humble with the lord so he has able to handle the huge task. He is the example to all our Christian Brothers & Sisters to obey the word of God and to humble ourselves before God so that all can enter in to the Kingdom of Paradise.. First, we have to leave the Earthly desires..
God chooses a prophet at a time, After the death of Moses, God saw that the Israelites were supposed to be led by another leader, so Joshua was chosen to lead the Jews unto the land of Cannan.The work of God shall keep on going forth till the second coming of Messiah, even if some leaders fall dpwn others will be elected to finish the work set aside by God Himself.
This comment is on verse 8 in particular. The Lord Jesus shows here that confessing His Word in faith (Shall not depart out of thy mouth)is very important. When we believe God's Holy Word, we confess it and act upon it. Amen.
should always remember Israel, support her & pray for her.
