🌿 Introduction
“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 Book of Joshua picks up where Deuteronomy ends—Moses has passed, and Joshua now leads the Israelites into the Promised Land. This is a book of action, of fulfillment, and of God’s mighty hand at work in both battle and blessing. It tells the story of a nation stepping into divine promise through courage, obedience, and faith.
Joshua is more than military conquest—it is a declaration of God’s faithfulness. Every step of land claimed was the physical proof of a spiritual promise. As you journey through this book, you’ll witness God’s power, His justice, and His unshakeable covenant with His people.
