God's Instructions
Joshua 1:1-9
1Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 2Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 3Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 5There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 6Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Joshua had big shoes to fill after Moses' death. No doubt, he felt overwhelmed and afraid of failing. But, God outlined what he wanted him to do. So, a major part of his new role was complete.
No matter who we are, we can know what God wants us to do while we are living on this earth:
1. If you have not prayed or made a decision to become a Christian, please follow chapter 41 of this book - www.areyousureyouaresaved.com
2. If you have prayed or made a decision to become a Christian, please follow the outline in chapter 39 of this book - www.areyousureyouaresaved.com Just like God wanted Joshua to be strong and very courageous as he tried to obey exactly what God's Word instructed (Joshua 1:7), talk about God's Word with others and think about how he could do what God's Word said to do and not do (Joshua 1:8), chapter 39 of this book - www.areyousureyouaresaved.com explains how Christians can do the same. Notice in verse 7 that God was trying to lighten his load when God said 'Only'. Similarily, it's a relief and comforting to know that when a Christian 'Only' lives the type of lifestyle presented in chapter 39 of this book - www.areyousureyouaresaved.com their load can be lightened too.
In addition to this message, if you have prayed or made a decision to become a Christian, but you are not sure you are really a Christian (Hebrews 11:6, Matthew 21:18-22, 1 John 5:14, and Hebrews 11:1), please follow this website - http://chriswaug5.wix.com/howtogotoheaven
