Joshua's Farewell

Thursday, April 16, 2015

The bravest and most faithful servants of God must answer the summons of death. Joshua had courageously and successfully directed the conquest for the Promise Land. He loved God and that love was reflected also in his love for God's people. "I must go the way of all the earth," he said, "take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that you love the Lord your God." He was not concerned that he was dying, for he was going to meet His God. But he was very concerned that God's people should take heed unto themselves-their own hearts and their own thinking-that they forget no the God who had given them their new land, but that they should love Him with all their heart. "You know," he said, "that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you. But know for a certainty that if you marry into the heathen nations about you go out after their gods, that He shall bring upon you evil things until you have been destroyed from off the good land which the Lord your God hath given you."
