Joshua 23:14

"Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed."

God is indeed so good and so faithful. How should i respond? To be faithful to him!

Joshua 16:10

10 They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor.

The danger of not removing things of the past from our lives - they will make our lives difficult in the future.

'But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance; the Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he promised them.'

Is the Lord enough for me? He should be, shouldn't he?

Joshua 7:20-21

'Achan replied, “It is true! I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I have done: When I saw in the plunder a beautiful robe from Babylonia, two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”'

Sin starts by seeing - if I do not stop it, one thing will lead to another.
