Joshua 1:3 - "I (God) promised Moses I would give you this land, so I (God) will give you every place you go in the land."
Be strong and brave! Be strong and brave! No matter what… be strong and brave.
God was preparing the Israelites for crossing the Jordan and taking the land that He had promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But He wasn't preparing just the Israelites. The "enemy" was also watching and being prepared. Twice Rahab says, "We have heard...". They'd heard about how the LORD dried up the Red Sea. They'd heard about the Amorite kings being defeated. They understood that it was the LORD who was in control and that the Israelites were going to be given this land by the LORD. "Now our men are afraid to fight you because the LORD your God rules the heavens above and the earth below."
ALL will know that the LORD—He is the One.
That just makes me so excited. That has been our prayer; that ALL will know that the LORD—He is the One who delivered us. God has promised to be with us. (Her Name Was Jane) When will we be delivered from "the storm"? I don't know. Until God delivers us we will continue to believe His promises. Joshua 1:5 - "I will not leave you or forget you." And, we will continue to follow His instructions to: be strong and brave; follow my commands; be strong and brave; and don't be afraid because the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
God never said it would be easy, but He did promise to be with us. Praise the Lord!
"When the LORD..." It is not if—it is WHEN!
