Up to this point in our daily devotional studies of the book of Joshua we’ve seen so many amazing things and I think you will find that today’s chapter will be one of your highlights. It seems that Joshua’s daily routine was leading the Israeli army to battle and gain ground one city at time. [...]
Joshua 9 finds Joshua and the people of Israel following God’s orders to take the land. This involves battles and bloodshed. Joshua’s job was to lead the children of Israel and keep his mind centered on God’s will and leading. He was NOT to fall for any traps the enemy might set for him. After [...]
Chapter 7 of Joshua shows the terrible defeat and power of sin. Once the sin was found out, taken care of and the people sought God for a revival – revival came. Repentance is always the acknowledgement of sin and the sorrow for it. It is a complete turning around and going the opposite direction. [...]
The mighty army of Israel was set to go battle the small army of Ai. Joshua figured it was going to be a “whip ‘em and come home” so he sent a smaller than usual army to go out and fight the men of Ai”. What happened next was totally unexpected – Ai “put the whoop [...]
Ever had any BIG walls come up in your life? They seemed so tall you couldn’t scale over them, so wide you couldn’t get around them? Ever felt like it was useless and you just as well give up? Everyone has. Joshua knew just what you were feeling. When God told him that they were [...]

After [...]
It’s amazing but did you know that rocks can testify? That’s right. God knew that if Israel wasn’t careful they might forget all they had been through, all He had done and the deliverance into the promised land they had just experienced. By His instructions Joshua enlisted 12 men. Each man was to go into [...]
Chapter Three starts with Joshua and the children of Israel on the banks of the Jordan river. They were on the brink of a miracle that would change their lives forever. When the signal was given to the priests that carried the Ark of the covenant (God’s presence among the people) they were to lead the [...]
Joshua Chapter 2 we see Joshua sending out two spies to look over the land. Notice the Word says that he sent them “secretly”. The last time a group was sent to spie out the land the report came back in a negative way. The group came back but walking by sight and not by [...]
I’ve noticed a tendency in many people to BEGIN STRONG, BEGIN IN A BIG WAY and when the going gets tough, difficult or there becomes some obstacles in the way – they quit, stop or give up. Life isn’t easy. Jesus never promised us that once we get saved that all would be a “bed [...]
