Reflection on book of Joshua

Hearing God thru His Word

The purpose of the book of Joshua
is to give the history of Israel’s
conquest of the promised land.
The first half of the book (chap 1-12)
recounts three military campaigns
spanning seven years, in which
Joshua meets and defeats
more than 30 enemy armies.
The second half (chapters 13-24)
relates the settlement of Canaan,
the fulfillment of God’s age-old
promise to Abraham.

On Monday, we learn from Josh 1
to Be Strong and Courageous.
On Tuesday, we learn fr Josh 2/3
that the Living God Is In Control.
On Wed, we learn from Josh 4
to Remember God’s Deeds.
On Thu, we learn from Joshua 6
that Obeying God Brings Success.
On Friday, we learn from Josh 13/21
that God Keeps His Promises.
On Sat, we learn from Joshua 24
that God Is For & Backs His People.

Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who Hear You:
For You as Living God Is In Control
& we will Remember Your Deeds;
For You Urge us to be Courageous
and Obeying You Brings Success;
For You God Keep Your Promises
and that You’ll Back Your People.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
