Greetings! Today, Kate and Sheila dive in recapping the book of Joshua! These words are just as powerful today as in Joshua’s, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord you God is with you wherever you go.” 1:9.
This book packs quite a punch! Here’s an acrostic on Joshua to make our learning stick.
Jericho battle was epic!
Over and over it’s written, “be strong and courageous”
Served the Lord wholeheartedly…me and my house will serve the LORD
His mentor was Moses
Unwavering leadership-Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua
Asked for the sun to stand still so the battle could continue
We gleaned so much from reading Joshua and we hope you did too. Thank you for joining us!
Have a blessed day!
PS Sidebar note: Notice there is a curse in 6:26 about rebuilding the city of Jericho. It was fulfilled 530 years later when Hiel lost his firstborn and his youngest in 1Kings 16:34.
