But the other men who had explored the land with

are stronger than we are! So they spread
discouraging reports about the land among the
Israelites The land we explored will swallow up

any who go to live there. All the people we saw
were huge. We even saw giants there, the

them!

Five Observations About Joshua
13
Joshua Was Ready To Hear From God
1
14
Joshua 513-14 (NLT)
As Joshua approached the city of Jericho, he
looked up and saw a man facing him with sword in
hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, Are you
friend or foe? Neither one, he replied. I am
commander of the Lords
15
Joshua 513-14 (NLT)
army. At this, Joshua fell with his face to the
ground in reverence. I am at your command,
Joshua said. What do you want your servant to
do?
16
Joshua Was Ready To Hear From God

17
John 1014-16 (NLT)
I am the good shepherd I know my own sheep, and
they know me, just as my Father knows me and I
know the Father. And I lay down my life for the
sheep. I have other sheep, too, that are not in
this sheepfold. I must bring them also,
18
John 1014-16 (NLT)
and they will listen to my voice and there will
be one flock with one shepherd.
19
Joshua Trusted Gods Direction

20
Joshua 62-5 (NLT)
But the Lord said to Joshua, I have given you
Jericho, its king, and all its mighty warriors.
Your entire army is to march around the city once
a day for six days. Seven priests will walk ahead
of the Ark, each carrying a rams horn. On the
21
Joshua 62-5 (NLT)
seventh day you are to march around the city
seven times, with the priests blowing the horns.
When you hear the priests give one long blast on
the horns, have all the people give a mighty
shout. Then the walls of the city will
22
Joshua 62-5 (NLT)
collapse, and the people can charge straight into
the city.
23
Joshua 19 (NLT)
I command yoube strong and courageous! Do not be
afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is
with you wherever you go.
24
Isaiah 558-9 (NLT)
My thoughts are completely different from
yours, says the Lord. And my ways are far
beyond anything you could imagine. For just as
the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my
ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher
than your thoughts.
25
My great concern is not whether God is on our
side my great concern is to be on Gods side,
for God is always right. Abraham Lincoln
26
Joshua Obeyed Gods Instructions
3
27
1 Samuel 1522 (NLT)
What is more pleasing to the Lord your burnt
offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his
voice? Obedience is far better than sacrifice.
Listening to him is much better than offering the
fat of rams.
28
All true knowledge of God is born out of
obedience. John Calvin
29
The most important characteristic of the active
spiritual life is obedience. Charles R.
Swindoll
30
1 John 53 (NLT)
Loving God means keeping his commandments, and
really, that isnt difficult.
31
Joshua Obeyed God
EVEN IF HE DIDNT UNDERSTAND
32
God is too good to be unkind, Hes too wise to
be confused, and if I cannot trace His hand I can
always trust His heart. C.H. Spurgeon
33
Joshua Obeyed God
EVEN IF HE DIDNT UNDERSTAND
EVEN IF HE HAD OTHER PLANS
34
Proverbs 169 (NLT)
We can make our plans, but the Lord determines
our steps.
35
Joshua Obeyed God
EVEN IF HE DIDNT UNDERSTAND
EVEN IF HE HAD OTHER PLANS
EVEN IF HE LOOKED STUPID
36
Behold the turtle. He makes no progress unless he
sticks his neck out.

Joshua Followed Through

38
Joshua 2414-15 (NLT)
Serve the Lord alone. But if you are unwilling to
serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will
serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors
served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the
gods of the Amorites in whose land you
39
Joshua 2414-15 (NLT)
now live? But as for me and my family, we will
serve the Lord.
40
Joshua Saw God Come Through

41
Joshua 615-16, 20 (NLT)
On the seventh day the Israelites got up at dawn
and marched around the city as they had done
before. But this time they went around the city
seven times. The seventh time around, as the
priests sounded the long blast on their
42
Joshua 615-16, 20 (NLT)
horns, Joshua commanded the people, Shout! For
the Lord has given you the city! When the
people heard the sound of the horns, they shouted
as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of
Jericho collapsed, and the
43
Joshua 615-16, 20 (NLT)
Israelites charged straight into the city from
every side and captured it.
