Joshua: God's Chosen Servant

Joshua is the continuation of the pilgrimage to the promised land of Israel. But it is also a book about Joshua men. Joshua's life is an explanation of the power of faith and teaches us the key to the success of life. The principle for his success to live is the same as the life we ​​have in Christ. The fundamental element of life is faith. Joshua was a slave when born in Egypt, but he was elected to follow Moses as Israel's leader.

Moses was replaced by Joshua. Moses was expressed as "servant of the Lord" (1: 1), and Joshua received the same title from God. This is the title underwritten by the Prophet (Amos 3: 7), Paul (Rome 1: 1), and Jesus Himself (Isaiah 52: 13). Being a "servant of the Lord" is now a blessing that all Christians like. But all the blessings God has given brings responsibility. Please take this responsibility seriously. Joshua should pay special attention to what God has said (Joshua 1: 7). He follows them (verse 7), speaks to them (verse 8), gets up at night (verse 8) and practices (v. 8). Fill your thought with God's truth, even when you are awake at night. This will affect your thinking - your idea will be the idea of ​​truth, freedom, love, victory, and peace. God also highlights this by talking directly with Joshua (Section 1), encouraging and strengthening him with two important promises.

24:21 The people said to Joshua, "No, I really want to worship the Lord." 24:22 Joshua said to the people, "You agree to become your own witness to worship the Lord. will you do". The answer is "We are witnesses," Joshua said, "drafted an agreement for the people on 24th," Please follow the God of Israel with the God of Gentiles aside. " They also set rules and rules for them in Shechem. 24: 26 Josh wrote these words in the scroll of the law of God. Then he picked up a big stone and put it under the oak near the main shrine. 24:27 Joshua said to the people, "Look, this stone will be your testimony, because the Lord will hear what you have told us, if you deny your god it is It will be your testimony. " 24: 28 When Joshua broke up the people, they went to the land they assigned.
