Joshua 1:1-18 (KJV)
Time has come to return to the Old Testament book of Joshua to learn of God and His hand in matters.
God spoke to Joshua after Moses' death to inform him to divide the land across the Jordan among the Children of Israel. God assured Joshua that He would be with him throughout his life as He was with Moses. God said to Joshua, "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest" (Joshua 1:9).
The Children of Israel accepted Joshua as their leader. They said, "According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage" (Joshua 1:17,18).
