Text: Deuteronomy 7:6–9; Romans 8:28–39; Matthew 13:44–52 The Lord our God has chosen us to be “his treasured possession,” not because of any strength in us, but solely “because the LORD loves” us (Deut. 7:6–8). He is faithful, and He “keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments” (Deut. 7:9). He has searched for us and found us in love, and He has bestowed on us “great value” by the great price that He has paid on the cross (Matt. 13:45–46). In His joy, He has redeemed us by His cross and gathered us into His kingdom by the Gospel. Now we are “hidden in a field,” covered by the cross and subject to the persecution of the world (Matt. 13:44), not for destruction, but “to be conformed to the image of his Son” (Rom. 8:29). Since we “are called according to his purpose” (Rom. 8:28), and because Christ Jesus died, rose again and lives to intercede for us “at the right hand of God” (Rom. 8:34), there is nothing in all creation that can separate us from “the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 8:39).
19:13-20 Job a byword and outcast (17:6)Job mentions some twelve groups here that have been alienated from him. The mention of these groups show how isolated and alienated Job has become. A common theme in psalms of lament is how the writer or speaker has been isolated from family and friends (Ps. 31:11; 38:11; 41:9; 55:12-14; 69:8; 88:8, 18).19:15 Those who live in my house and my maids consider me a stranger- The one who dwells in his house, gar, would refer not to blood relatives but to outsiders taken in by the good will of the homeowner. These were outside the bonds of family (Ex. 20:10, 12; Deut. 5:14; 16:11, 14). These would generally be bound by the strongest bonds of loyalty to his benefactor but not in this case. “The tables are now so completely turned that the very persons who owed their places in the household to Job now look upon him as outside the family.”[1]I am a foreigner in their sight- The terms stranger (from the first line) and foreigner are used in parallelism. Often sojourners and maids were taken from foreign nations (Lev. 25:44-46; II Kings 5:2). Job has taken in people outside the nation and now these treat Job as if he were the stranger and foreigner. 19:16 I call to my servant, but he does not answer;- Job 9:14-16 uses the verb call (vs. 16) and answered (vs. 14, 15, 16). The servant was the lowliest member of the community (though see Job's respect for them in 31:13-15). The servant usually was very attentive to the master's wants (Ps. 123:2; Luke 17:7-10). Just as God did not answer in vs. 7 so the servant does not answer. Job gets no answer from God, his friends, or even his servants, he is “a man without an answer.”[2]I have to implore him with my mouth- The word implore is the word translated pity in vs. 21. The proper of order of things is not that the master begs the servant but even after this, the servant still does not properly respond. Job's world has truly been turned upside down. 19:13 He has removed my brothers far from me,- In Ps. 69:8 David was estranged from his brothers. This word far from me, rachaq, is also used begging God not to be far away (Ps. 22:11, 19; 35:22; 38:21; 71:12). God is the One driving the wedge between Job and those closest to him. “The whole sorry catalogue of Job's losses of human intimacy is laid at God's door.”[2]Job experiences what many sufferers, even innocent sufferers experience, though their friends may be many in times of blessing, they are often few in times of suffering. In suffering the sufferer is often left to fend for himself.Ps. 38:11-12; 69:9; 88:8, 18.And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me- No friend with words to comfort nor hand to help was there for Job. 19:13-20 Job being forsaken by his closest associates foreshadows the greatest innocent sufferer of all who was forsaken by those closest to Him. His brothers did not believe in Him (John 7:5). His own family sought to take custody of Him thinking He has lost His senses (Mk. 3:20-21). Jesus was betrayed by Judas, one of the twelve (Matt. 26:14-16; 21-25, 47-50). His most outspoken follower Peter denied even knowing Him (Matt. 26:69-75). All the disciples forsook Him and fled at His arrest (Matt. 26:31, 56), including the youngest and strongest (Mk. 14:51-52). He came to His own and His own did not receive Him (John 1:12). The servants in God's house rejected Him and He was viewed as a stranger in His own house (Matt. 21:12-17, 23-27).

Teaching by Josh Clark Week 6: From Refuge to Rest (Ch 20-21)1. Cities of Refuge (20:1-9)- See Num 35:9-34, Deut 19:1-13- Cities of refuge were set up to: - Protect anyone who committed an accidental murder - Provide a punishment for the murder - exile from the land - Prevent unnecessary violence or revenge from the avenger of blood - This highlights the sanctity of life for the victim & accidental murderer- How did it work? - If there was an accidental murder, the murderer would flee to the city of refuge and plead their case. - If they were guilty, the avenger of blood could kill them (Num 35:16-21). - If they were innocent they had to live in the city - Vs 9 The city for anyone in the land- How long did they have to live there? - Until the High Priest died- Bigger problem found in Num 35:33-34 - Innocent blood shed pollutes the land- Land can only be cleansed through death of the murderer (Num 35:33) or death of the high priest (Josh 1:6, Num 35:32)2. Levi's Allotment (21:1-42)V 1-3- Num 35:1-8V 4-40- Levitical Allotment: Kohathites (Aaron's descendants) - Judah, Simeon, Benjamin - 13 cities Remaining Kohathites - Ephraim, Dan, Half-Tribe of Manasseh (West) - 10 cities Gershonites - Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, Half-Tribe of Manasseh (East/Bashan) - 13 cities Merarites - Reuben, Gad, Zebulun - 12 cities Total - Throughout Israel - 48 cities- No portion was given to the Levites in the land (13:14, 33; 14:3-4, 18:7)- Their inheritance was: - The tithes that support the Levites (13:14) - The Lord (13:33; 18:7)3. Promise Fulfilled, Possession Ongoing (21:43-45)These verses are a great summary of the book of Joshua- 43 summarizes the land given in ch 13-21- 44 summarizes the conquest in ch 1-12- 45 summarizes the book as the theological ideal - God is faithful to his promises.- Complete or Partial Conquest? - 13:1 Now Joshua was old and advanced in years, and the Lord said to him, "You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to possess." - On the east side of the Jordan they failed to drive out the Geshurites and Maacathite (13:13) - On the west side they failed to drive out the Jebusites (15:63), the Canaanites in Gezer (16:10), Canaanites in the cities of Manasseh (17:12)- V 44 "Rest" - 2 kinds of rest in the book of Joshua - rest from war, rest of a settled life - There are still enemies to drive out but the enemy has been definitively defeated - The settling will depend on their faithfulness to God's command to drive out the people. In order to experience the blessings of Eden the people need to obey the God of Eden. - Num 33:55-564. Christ Connection- The rest that we find in Joshua was never intended to be the final rest, but always pointed to the greater rest found in Jesus. - Heb 3:7-4:13- As long as it is called "today" (in other words everyday) trust and believe in the Lord. Let faith propel you to act in hope and obedience until you enter his rest.
Deut. 4:11-13; Ex. 20:1-17 with Pastor Greg Denham
Forty years after fleeing slavery in Egypt, God's people stood on the edge of everything they'd been promised and chose fear over trust. In this message, we trace three ways ancient Israel let doubt curdle into disobedience, and what it looks like to trust a God who's already proven He'll carry us through our own giants. Because the same God who parted seas and led with fire by night is still asking: will you believe He's for you, even when the evidence feels stacked against you?

A sermon by John Zeigler entitled "Living as the Apple of God's Eye" from various Scriptures including Deut. 32:10, Psalm 17:8 and Prov. 7:2
God did mighty works outside the holy land and after Moses. In teaching this, Stephen was not rejecting God and His prophet – instead, his audience was! 1. God sent Moses as prophet to His people in Egypt (v.17-28) 2. God met with Moses in Midian, and called that place holy ground! (v.29-33) 3. God used Moses to bring God's people out of Egypt.

La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Ria from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Jeremiah 13: 1-11; Rs psalm: Deut 32: 18-19.20-21; Matius 13: 31-35.WE ARE LIKE MUSTARD SEED AND YEAST The theme for our meditation today is: We Are LikeMustard Seed and Yeast. There was a friendship that was not between humanbeings, but between mustard seed and yeast. They both were kept in a shop, butit was not easy to locate them among the many big things being displayed. Onemorning the mustard seed said to his friend: "Hopefully today I have agood fortune." His friend responded, "What do you mean goodfortune?" Mustard seed replied: "Hopefully a buyer will buy me."They both agreed that they must indeed be useful when they are used by men. Both are immobile, wrapped securely in plastics, smallin size, and unnoticed among all other objects around them. If you were someonewho was in the shop but didn't want to buy anything, what you saw weredefinitely big and attractive things. You never took a slightest time to thinkand see small objects such as mustard seed or yeast. Only people who havespecific purpose for small objects, will try to find and buy them. Then theywill eventually be used according to those people's intentions. Jesus had made the Kingdom of God as the core of Histeaching to people who increasingly followed and heard Him day after day. Theyhad never received such teachings before from the time of Abraham and prophets.They never imagined what the kingdom of God looked like. However, Jesus was thepersonification of the Kingdom itself, He who was speaking and being with them.If there is a new teaching to be inserted into the hearts of people who arestill innocent, the teaching must start from the smallest and simplestbeginning. For those who are already full with knowledge and beliefs such asthe leaders of the Jews, things about the Kingdom of God must be taught withextreme complexity and patience. In using parables in His teaching, Jesus made use ofthings that were familiar and simple to the common understanding of the people,so that the complexity and the depth of divine message can be accepted by Hislisteners. If every day you read and listen to the word of God, this profile ofmustard seeds and yeast are enough to explain that this Word is preserved inyour mind and heart, and this will be the the power of God to renew yourself.If you regularly receive the Holy Communion, or regularly make yourconfessions, the profile of mustard seeds and yeast are enough to make you knowabout the growth of your faith though apparently hidden but real and will bearfruits in its proper time. The Lord puts His kingdom in us through variousevents and forms. All of these, even though hidden within us, are growing andnurtured by Him with or without our knowledge. When times of difficulty, trial,struggle, and sickness come, the power of His Kingdom will come out to help usspeak, act and behave.Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord Jesus, may we be a worthy place forthe growth of the Kingdom of God. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the nameof the Father ...
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by a calling, uncertain about the future, or afraid you weren't enough? In today's Crosswalk Devotional, we reflect on Deuteronomy 31:8, where God promises to go before His people, remain with them, and never leave or forsake them. His presence doesn't always remove our fears—but it gives us the courage to move forward in faith. Just as Joshua was called to lead Israel into the Promised Land, we often face assignments that feel bigger than our abilities. Yet God never calls us to walk alone. He goes before us, prepares the way, provides what we need, and faithfully holds us through every challenge. Our confidence is not found in our own strength, but in the God who never lets go. Highlights: Discover how Deuteronomy 31:8 reminds us that God goes before us and never abandons His children. Learn why God's presence gives us courage even when we feel inadequate or afraid. Be encouraged to trust that God equips those He calls to fulfill His purposes. Understand how Joshua's story points to the confidence we can have in God's faithfulness today. Reflect on how fear loses its power when we remember God is already preparing the way. Find peace knowing your future rests in God's hands—not your own abilities.

Full Transcript Below: How God’s Presence Strengthens Our Faith By Jennifer Slattery Bible Reading:The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” - Deut. 31:8, NIV When first invited to podcast, I wrestled with God for some time. I wondered why anyone would want to listen to me when there are so many other great podcasts from which they can choose. What if I was boring or ran out of things to say? But my biggest concern was that I’d make a fool of myself. I’d spoken to live audiences numerous times. People I could look in the face and respond to their cues. But speaking into a computer screen? Learning about all the technological elements felt a bit overwhelming. The more I prayed on this, however, the more the Lord made it clear that this opportunity came from Him. And that changed everything, because I knew, deep in my soul, when God assigns, He always provides everything we need to do all that He asks. More importantly, I also knew He would remain with me each step of my journey. Although that didn’t remove my insecurity, it gave me the courage to step into something that’s brought satisfaction and a lot of precious, prayerful moments with the Lord. Now, I realize my situation was nothing like Joshua’s. God gave this warrior-commander a massive assignment—to lead ancient Israel, a challenging group to say the least, into the Promised Land, an area occupied by powerful people groups with organized armies, living in fortified cities. And Moses, the man who had led them through many frightening situations in the forty years prior and who spoke with the Almighty face-to-face, wouldn’t accompany him. But Joshua wouldn’t be alone. The Lord would remain with him. He promised to go before Joshua—charting the way, removing what would hinder God’s purpose, and preparing him for everything he’d encounter. He also went ahead of His people in the sense that He’d already provided the blessing Joshua and the people needed to possess. Again, God had already given them the land, but they still had to actively take hold of it. They had to cross the Jordan River and engage in battle, but would do so from a place of victory. The Lord would never leave or forsake them. In the original Hebrew, one could phrase this as, “He will never turn His back on you, and He will never release His grip on your life.” He’s made that same promise to you. Intersecting Life & Faith: God is always moving closer, especially when you feel overwhelmed, insecure, or afraid, and He always keeps you locked in His loving gaze. That is why we don’t have to feel discouraged or afraid. Discouragement often rises when we realize something is beyond our control, and we lack the strength, clarity, or ability to fix whatever stands before us. But according to today’s verse, that will never be the case. We always have the power, presence, and provision of the Almighty Creator God with us. He goes before us, works within us, stands behind us, and surrounds us with His all-encompassing love. Fear often follows discouragement—it’s the what-if scenarios that flood our minds when we think about our sense of powerlessness. Faith grows when we remember that we’re not alone, nor must we navigate our problems on our own. We are always held, helped, protected, and empowered by the One who remains with us, fights for us, and has already secured our victory—your victory!—through His death and resurrection. This weekend, when stress or anxiety rise, pause and reflect on today’s verse. Let it remind you that your safety and future don’t rest on your ability to figure things out—God goes before you, remains with you, and faithfully leads you on the best path for your life. Remind yourself that your success and safety aren’t up to you. God’s got you. He’ll never turn His back or release His strong yet gentle grip on your life.

And may you live with the confidence and courage of one who is chosen, called, and empowered by the Almighty.

This week's Torah portion covers Deuteronomy 3:23–7:11. It is called Va'etchanan, which translates to “I pleaded,” because it begins with Moses pleading with God for permission to cross the Jordan River. This week's Torah portion also includes the most important proclamation in all of Judaism. As Moses contemplates the preservation of the Israelite faith and how best parents can impress the teachings upon their children, he pronounces: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. (Deut. 6:4)This verse is known in Hebrew as the Shema. It is considered the most critical piece of liturgy in all of Judaism, the great declaration of God's oneness and his kingship. Jewish morning prayers and evening prayers include the Shema. The Shema is also part of the Shabbat prayers. On Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, the service climaxes with the communal recitation of the Shema.According to tradition, if a Jewish person believes their death is imminent, they should recite the Shema so that it can be the last words on their lips. I have read stories of soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces in wartime reciting the Shema together in their tanks and from their lookouts.Support the showConsider donating (one-time or recurring) to www.TheJerusalemConnection.us so we can continue to bring valuable content via podcasts free to the public.

Teaching by Josh ClarkWeek 5: Inheriting the Promise (Ch 13-19)Opening Activity: What are specific ways you have seen God's faithfulness?1. Outline of Chapters 13-1913:1-7 The Remaining Land (to be conquered)13:8-33 Moses's Allotment to the 2 1/2 tribes 13:8-14 Eastern tribes' boundaries 13:15-23 Reuben 13:24-28 Gad 13:29-31 1/2 Tribe of Manasseh14:1-5 Explanation of Allotment for 9 1/2 tribes14:6-15:63 Judah's Allotment 14:6-15 Caleb's Inheritance 15:1-12 Judah's Boundaries 15:13-19 Caleb, Achsah, & Othniel 15:20-63 Judah's Cities16:1-17:18 Allotment of the Tribes of Joseph18:1-19:51 Allotment of the Remaining Tribes 18:1-10 Introduction - Joshua Sends Surveyors 18:11-28 Benjamin's Allotment 19:1-9 Simeon's Allotment 19:10-16 Zebulun's Allotment 19:17-23 Issachar's Allotment 19:24-31 Asher's Allotment 19:32-39 Naphtali's Allotment 19:40-48 Dan's Allotment 19:49-51 Joshua's Allotment2. The Process of Allotment (14:1-5)- V 1 This is a joint effort between Joshua, Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the tribes- V 2 They cast lots to discern who received what allotment of land- V 2b, 5 The land was allotted as the Lord commanded (Num 26:52-56)3. Caleb's Inheritance (14:6-15; 15:13-19)14:6-15- V 7 Caleb was 40 when he went to spy out the land and when he received the promise- V 8 "made the heart of the people melt" compared to "wholly followed the Lord my God"- V 9 The promise made to Caleb (Num 14:24, 30; 32:12; Deut 1:34-36)- V 10 Caleb is 85 years old when he receives the fulfillment of the promise - 5 times throughout the passage Caleb refers to what the source of his faith is: God's promise to him (14:6, 10a, 10b, 12a, 12b)15:13-19 Three Examples of Faith- Caleb - drives out the sons of Anak- Othniel - drives out the inhabitants of Debir- Achsah - makes a bold request for more in faith4. The Daughters of Zelophehad (17:3-6)- Num 27:1-11; 36:1-12- Features of their faith: - Request is made before they have entered the land - Request was untraditional- The problem: if Zelophehad's daughters marry men from another tribe, the land they inherited will be transferred to their husbands' tribes, removing it from the inheritance of their father's tribe.5. Discontentment in the Tribes of Joseph (17:14-18)- Deut 20:1- The problem is not that God has not provided an adequate amount of space, but that the tribes of Joseph don't believe God is adequate to lead them to victory- God's victories yesterday put today's challenges in perspective6. Shiloh (18:1; 19:51)- This moment reveals a couple of things: - The divine will was made known to Joshua, Eleazar, and the tribal leaders during the allotment - With the tabernacle erected at Shiloh, the wilderness period was over and they were making their home in the land - God dwelled in the midst of his people7. Christ Connection- Just as Joshua, Caleb, Othniel, Achsah, and the daughters of Zelophehad trusted God's promise and received their inheritance, we too receive an inheritance by faith.- Like the inheritance of Zelophehad's daughters, which could not be taken away through human schemes or legal maneuvering, our inheritance cannot be stolen, revoked, or diminished.- 1 Peter 1:3-5- The God who promised the inheritance is the God who preserves his people until they possess it.
19:7 To cry, tsaaq, violence is implicitly a cry to God for help from violence. The weak party cries to God for relief from suffering (Ex. 8:12; 14:10; 22:23, 27; Deut. 22:24, 27). But I get no answer- Often God's servants uttered similar cries, and God heard them (Ps. 34:17). But in Job 35:12 Elihu is going to use both the verb cry and answer to say that sometimes God does not answer because of the pride of evil men. It is sometimes true that God does not answer one's cries because of our attitude or behavior. For example, the one who refuses to hear the cry of the poor will also call himself and not be answered (Prov. 21:13). However, that is not the case with Job.I shout for help, but there is no justice- The verb translated shout, shava is used in Job 24:12; 29:12; 30:20, 28; 35:9; 36:13; 38:41. Putting together several of these passages in Job is interesting. In 36:13 the godless does not cry for help. In 30:20 Job shouts to God and gets no answer (30:28). In 24:12 when the wounded cry out, God does not pay attention. However, when Job was able to help and the weak cried out to him, he delivered them (29:12). However, Job 38:41 offers hope because God hears the cry of raven's young therefore there is hope that He will hear Job's cry. 19:9 He has stripped my honor from me- This verb stripped is used of the brothers stripping Joseph's coat in Gen. 37:23, Aaron's garments (Num. 20:25, 28), and Saul's weapons (I Sam. 31:8, 9). Also see Ezek. 16:39. Honor is portrayed as a garment to be put on or stripped off. Character and blessings are garments to be worn in Job 29:14. It is God who has stripped off these things. And removed the crown from my head- God removed crowns in Jer. 13:18; Lam. 5:16. This language does not indicate that Job was actually a king, but the respect that Job had among his people was as great as that of any king in 29:8-10, 25. This line serves as quite a contrast with Psalm 8:5. “His experience is diametrically opposed to the traditional belief that God crowns (‘atar, the verb that corresponds to the noun used in Job 19:9) a man with glory (kabowd) and honor (hadar).”The Hebrew word translated honor in Psalm 8:5 does not appear in Job 19:9. Jesus and Job 1919:2 Job spoke of the words of his friends' crushing him. The word crush, daka, is used in Isaiah 53:5, 10 to speak of the servant of the LORD being crushed by God. 19:7 God's ultimate display of justice was the cross. The irony is that the most horrible act of injustice in all history demonstrated the justice of God. God punished sin in way to provide salvation to the sinner (Rom. 3:21-26).

A dívida é frequentemente o resultado do descontentamento por ter apenas o que é possível ter. As pessoas ficam endividadas para comprar aquilo para o qual não teriam dinheiro. (Josanan). Phil 4:11-12.* Live on what belongs to you - do not borrow* Only use money that is already in your bank account. Do not count on resources you have not yet received. Pay what you owe* Adopt a simple lifestyle - no ostentation. Phil 4:12 * Gather the crumbles.How to avoid debts CS, 236-237* Watch the little outgoes* Stop every leak. It is the little losses that tell heavily in the end. Small leaks have sunk many a ship* Gather up the fragments; let nothing be lost. * Waste not the minutes in talking; wasted minutes mar the hours.* Persevering diligence, working in faith, will always be crowned with success.* Study how to save expenses, so that the institutions shall not become involved in debt.* Wisdom must be shown in the matter of purchasing. * Money must be made to go as far as possible. By careful management, many dollars may be saved.* Expenditures should not be made unless they are warranted by the means in hand. * Make… expenditures as few as possible; for necessities will arise where every dollar will be needed* Many poor families are poor because they spend their money as soon as they receive it.

Teaching by Josh ClarkWeek 4: The Lord Fights for His People (Ch 9-12)1. Gibeonite Deception (Ch 9)- V 1 "Heard of this" - indicator of new military campaign beginning- Observations of the Gibeonites interaction - Gibeonites know the Israelites are commanded not to make covenants with the people in the promised land because they will teach them their wicked practices, thereby, leading them into idolatry (Deut 7:1-2; 20:10-18) - They claim the reason they came to Joshua and the Israelites is because they heard what God had done in Egypt and to the two kings beyond the Jordan. - The Gibeonites are spared because of the consistency of the people's word. The Gibeonites are treated like a people who the Israelites are permitted to make a treaty with (Deut 20:10-11)- Lesson from the Gibeonites - Fear of consequences tempts us to hide, manipulate, or control the outcome. Faith responds with trust in the character of God.- Lesson from the Israelites - Goodness and life are found in seeking the Lord's counsel.2. Southern Campaign (Ch 10)- V 1 "Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem" - My Lord is righteousness - "Melchizedek, king of Salem" (Gen 14:18-20) - King of Righteousness- V 6 Gibeonites request to Joshua is the same as Adoni-Zedek: "come up to me/us" and "help me" - The one key difference is Gibeon asks for rescue while Adoni-zedek asks for aid in destroying Gibeon.- V 24 Joshua summons the chiefs and tells them to "put their feet on the necks of these kings". - Gen 3:15- V 42 "And Joshua captured all these kings and their land at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel."3. Christ Connection- Dawn - a time where God exposes and judges evil symbolizing His victory over darkness. - Ex 14:24; 1 Sam 11:9; Isa 37:36; Ps 46:5 - Matt 28:1; Mark 16:2; Luke 24:1; John 20:14. Northern Campaign (Ch 11)- V 4 "like the sand that is on the seashore"- V 6 Comparison of Joshua 8 (Ai) and Joshua 11 (Northern Campaign): Joshua 8 (Ai): - "Do not fear" (8:1a) - Reason: "For I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land." (8:1b) - God announces victory before the battle begins. (8:1) - Specific military instructions: "You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho... except its spoil and livestock you shall take... Set an ambush..." (8:2) - Joshua obeys immediately. "So Joshua arose..." (8:3) - The LORD gives Israel victory. (8:18-29) Joshua 11 (Northern Campaign): - "Do not be afraid" (11:6a) - Reason: "Tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel." (11:6b) - God announces victory before the battle begins. (11:6) - Specific military instructions: "You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire." (11:6c) - Joshua obeys immediately. "So Joshua and all his warriors came suddenly..." (11:7) - The LORD gives Israel victory. (11:8-15)- V 18 "Joshua made war for a long time" fulfills Ex 23:29-30- V 20 "For it was the Lord's doing to harden their hearts" - Like Pharaoh, God handed the kings and the people over to their desires and hardened their hearts.- V 21-22 Joshua conquers the Giants that caused the wilderness generation to rebel (Num 13:22, 33)5. God's Great Victories (Ch 12)- V 1-6 Kings defeated to the East of the Jordan River- V 7-24 Kings defeated to the West of the Jordan River
