Joshua - An Outline

​
•    Finally, in Chapters 13-24, the land is divided up and distributed among the tribes of Israel. Some of the larger cities are placed aside for the Levitical priests who did not receive a portion of land, due to their duties. Lastly, Joshua dies but before he passes he gives one of the greatest challenges that lasts for all generations including our own, “Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve...as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD” (24:15).  audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html .

Notice that in the last few verses of Joshua there is a narration of three burials: Joshua (Joshua 24:29–30), the bones of Joseph (24:32), and Eleazar the high priest (24:33). Strange as it may seem, these burials proclaim God’s character. All three men were associated with Israel’s days in captivity (Joseph long ago when Jacob’s family first settled in Egypt, and Joshua and Eleazar as young men on the long journey through the wilderness). And now all three lay at rest in the land of promise, witnesses to God’s faithfulness. 

So then, For the 21st Century - What are we to take from the Book of Joshua?
 audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html
The question raises many answers.  Today, let me begin to share just a few things from what I have personally learned from Joshua, even though I certainly have not learned all there is to learn.

First, I have learned that as it is written, truly, 'faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God'. [Romans 10:17-19[ audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html .  Have you learned this, my friends?

There needs to be more 'hearing' rather than the 'voice' of one 'explaining', or our own 'complaining'. Remember what Jesus said about 'My sheep hear my voice', [John 10:27-28]. At this stage in our studies together in 'my rooms with and in Jesus', this continues to be what the Lord is putting on my heart.  Time for each to 'grow' 'personally' more closer to Him, so that were there not a 'human guide', each would be able to 'come' in prayer through His Word, to hear and be a doer of what each person is hearing from the Lord. [John 14:26]. 

We will continue this discussion on our next post, as we carefully, slowly remember the following: 'For what ever things were written before times, were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.' [Romans 15:4]. [ audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

Be blessed to grow closer and more personal with him, as the people of Samaria said after Jesus had spent time with them, they no longer just believed by what the woman of Samaria has said, but, they had heard them, themselves. [John 4:4-52]  Please do likewise.  Amen. Amen.  audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

God is the ultimate promise-keeper. As faithful and present as He was with Israel, so He is with us. “Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (1:9).  We shall continue on our next post, but, in the meanwhile, take an acessment for your very own selves.  What do you think the value of studying the 'book', the 'man' Joshua has been for you with respect to learning how the Good Lord works in the life of Joshua, and, since He changes not, how He has been and will continue to work in your life. 
​
Enjoy being in the 'Presence of the Lord', studying His Word for yourselves.  Amen. Amen.​
