I loved delving into the life of Joshua and seeing God deliver on his promise to the Israelites. A couple lessons woven throughout the book:
- God is the one fighting; we need to be strong and courageous, obedient, and remember his word and his deeds.
- Sin has consequences. Not just for us, but for everyone around us, too.
- Often we settle for less than what God has for us. For whatever reason (fear, laziness, a lack of vision), we get stuck.
- God welcomes people into the Israelites. Even as he commanded them to kill or drive out whole people groups, he welcomes the faithful few.
