This passage is strong on the fact that God is for God—God is the hero of the story, and we are to align our desires and plans with His. And in a very comforting way, this passage is also an encouraging recognition that we belong to God because of the blood of Christ. God is for God, and we belong to Him!

The Warfare of Worship (Part 1)

The Book of Joshua primarily focuses on the story of Joshua, who succeeds Moses in leading the Israelites into the Promised Land after their 40 years of wandering in the desert. Throughout the book, God repeatedly instructs Joshua to "be strong and courageous." His strength comes from God as he conquers the land and establishes the tribes of Israel within it, relying on God's presence and guidance.
