“Study
this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will
be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and
succeed in all you do.” (Joshua 1:8
NLT)
“As
the Lord had commanded his servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua. And Joshua
did as he was told, carefully obeying all the commands that the Lord had given
to Moses.” (Joshua 11:15 NLT)
Joshua
carefully obeyed all the instructions given by God. This theme of obedience is
repeated frequently in the book of Joshua, partly because obedience is one
aspect of life the individual believer can control. We can’t always control our
understanding because we may not have all the facts. We can’t control what
other people do or how they treat us. However, we can control our choice to
obey God. Whatever new challenges we may face, the Bible contains relevant
instructions that we can choose to ignore or choose to follow.
