God is the Lord of nations as well ns of homes, and he is concerned that those who honor him in their homes have opportunity to serve him in their national life. Tills was true in a special way with Israel, but it is also true ot us today. Ready to enter the Promised Land, the people had to part with their great leader, Motes, who was not permitted to enter. The time comes when even the mightiest of men full, but life must go on and new leadership must be found. I. The Changed Leader (Josh. 1; Mi 1. Workers Die—Cod's Work Goes On (vv. 1.2). God buries his workmen at the end of their day of labor, but God's work goes n. The is-ople had become attached to Moses and had learned to trust his leadership, even though they often murmured. With his death wo might have assumed that there would be a letdown, but that was not m G-xl’s plan. The Lora works through men. He gives th«m abilities and uses them for his glory, often in away which astonishes them and others. But let them not become proud, for God has someone to take their place when they are gone. They are not indispensable 2 The Need Is the Same, So Is the Blessing <vv. 3,4). The promise given to Moses was still good God's promises are always good. They are the only really stable thing in a trembling universe. The question is. Are we ready to take him at hi* word - ' They were to step out by faith. Tie land was promised to them only as the sole of their foot should tread upon it. Israel never took ou’ the full pron eof ver-e 4. They lacked faith. God honors those who believe him and who move forward by faith to plant the foot of spiritual conquest in new territory Some are doing it now Are we'* The enemies of God's people were many and mighty, but they were not able to stand in the way of God's people when they were moving forward for him. Here again, Israel failed. They did not drive them out, because they did not take God at his word. The application of that truth to us is obvious fl. The Unchanging God (Josh. 28: 1-11). Between our first scripture and this selection will be found the history of the conquest of the land (at least, of the larger part of it), and the division of the territory between the tribes. Years have passed quickly, and the new leader, Joshua, is now an old man, soon to go to his reward. Hr gathers the elders who represented the people and gave them good counsel for the days ahead, even as he recalls the blessings of the past. 1. God Did Help <vv. 1-3). Israel had been in many hard battles. They had gone through the trials of pioneer days in a new and unfamiliar land. Now they were established and at peace. Perhaps they were recalling their mighty exploits and their own sacrificial efforts. Ju»hua reminds them that it was God who fought for them (v. 3>. We need just such a reminder in our land today. 2. God Will Help (vv. 4,3). Joshua had a word of encouragement for the days ahead. There was much yet to be done. The land had not been fully taken. He reminded them of God's help in the past, so that they would depend on it in the future. It is one mark of a great man that he looks beyond the end of his own short existence and plans for the future. What about the future? Joshua reminded them that every blessing they had received, every victory they had won. everything had come from the hand of God. Thera and there alone was their hope for the future. And it was enough! 2. Help Yourself <w. 6*11). To keep true in the land where their neighbors engaged in idol worship and all manner of immorality required definite action on the part of Israel They were not to deviate in the slightest from God> way. "to the right band or to the left" fr. •). for a little beginning in the wrong direction winds up in awful departure from him. They were not even to swear by the heathen goes, not even to mention them. Thy were to "cleave" to the Lord, a graphic presentation of the close relation between God and hia people.
