Living By Godly Rules

In the beginning God had promised his people, starting with Abraham, the Promised Land, A Land of Milk and Honey. God charged Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt into the desert to worship Him, from there across the Red Sea with God's help. God promise to Moses was to be obedient, strong and of good courage and He will always be with Him to lead him.

After Moses' death God charged Joshua to be the new leader of the Israelites; to lead them across Jordan River into the Promised Land. The same promise He made to Moses He also made it to Joshua. Telling him to be strong and of good courage, etc. Although both leaders went through many battles and challenges to possess the lands God  was always with them to be victorious.


Joshua 1:7-9

Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

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 1:16

And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersover thou sendest us, we will go.


 Obedience to their leaders played an important part in them possessing the land victorously as God had planned. Through all their murmuring and complaining against Moses God continued to lead them as He promised.  After they endured for a while with Joshua, and continued to see God work through him they began to have more faith and be obedient.



Obedience is better than sacrafice; Lets continue to be obedient using Godly Rules.


Until we meet again - soon.
