Greetings to you and
welcome back to Daily Bread. Now that we're finished with the five books of Moses,
we're about to embark on the continuing story about God's people, the
children of Israel, and what all happened as they entered into the
Promised Land to take possession of the inheritance that the Lord gave
them.

SUMMARY
Joshua, the first of
the twelve historical books (Joshua - Esther), forges a link between the
Pentateuch (the five books of Moses) and the remainder of Israel's
history. Through three major military campaigns involving more than
thirty enemy armies, the people of Israel learn an important lesson
under Joshua's capable leadership: Victory comes through Faith in God
and obedience to His Word, not through military might or numerical
superiority.
After the death of
Moses, the Lord spoke to Joshua, telling him to cross the Jordan River
to the Promised Land. The Lord assured Joshua that He would guide him
just as He did Moses, and to be strong and courageous, and obey the law
of the Lord, and He would protect him wherever he went.
It was Joshua's task
to divide the Promised Land among the children of Israel. He instructed
the officers of the tribes to announce that they should prepare food,
because within three days, they would be crossing the Jordan to possess
the Promised Land. He also told the officers to remind the tribes of
Reuben and Gad, that even though they had already possessed their land
on the east side of the Jordan, those men suitable for war must cross
the Jordan armed, ahead of the others, and could return to their
families and possessions, once all tribes had possessed their
inheritance of the Promised Land and all were at peace.

VERSES DISCUSSION
The people all
answered Joshua, assuring that whatever he said, they would do, just as
they listened to Moses, and they encouraged Joshua, asking God's
blessing upon him.
Put yourself in
Joshua's shoes for a moment. Moses would certainly be a tough act to
follow, so the inspiration from the Lord as well as the children of
Israel was probably very much appreciated by Joshua.
Join in again soon at
Daily Bread,
and we'll see what happens next in the book of Joshua ...
