Joshua 24- Closing Remarks
The book of Joshua opens with a new leader being handed a seemingly impossible task- to lead the nation in taking over the land of Canaan. By following God closely, Joshua led the people through military victories and faithful spiritual obedience.
In verse 16 of chapter 24, we read that the people were sure they would never forsake the Lord. The covenant between Israel and God was that the people would worship and obey the Lord alone. Their purpose was to become a holy nation that would influence the rest of the world for God and the conquest of Canaan was a means to achieve this purpose.
Unfortunately, Israel became preoccupied with the land and lost sight of the Lord.
May this not be our portion- spending so much time on the means that we forget the end
May we never lose sight of His purpose for our lives in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
