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.

Joshua 13:33

'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 9:14

'The Israelites sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the Lord.'

A reminder of the importance not to rely on own self but to seek God's guidance always.

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.

Joshua 1:9

^"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

I *will* be strong and courageous! It is so good to know that wherever i go, God will be with me. and not just where i go physically! where i am heading to in my life, God will be with me.

Deuteronomy 33:29

"Blessed are you, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword."

Similarly, I am so blessed. God saved me, he is my shield and my helper.

Deuteronomy 30:11-14

¹¹ Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. ¹² It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” ¹³ Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” ¹⁴ No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.

God's commands are not too difficult to follow. I mustobey his words.
