Highlights:
- In chapter one of Joshua we are witness to God's appointment of Joshua to lead Israel back to it's promised land after Moses' death. While I remember God telling him not to be afraid over and over the key verse that stuck out for me during this first chapter was verse 8 where he said "Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; Mediate on it day and night, so that you may be carful to do everything written on it."
- In chapter two of Joshua we learn of the story of Rahab and the spies. It's interesting to read that Joshua sent these spies to Rahab's house knowing they would be seen because of where she lived, yet the woman had the where with all to lie to the government officials in order to protect the spies.
Take Away:
All thought chapters 1-5 dealt with alot of the history of the Joshua and his conquest to lead the Israelies to their promised land, I really had the biggest take away early on when Joshua was imparted with the task that Moses had. Apart from God and Jesus, Moses is probably one of the most well known and admired characters of the bible. When Joshua was commanded in verse 8 to not let the bible depart from his mouth, I felt like that was a direct call to what I struggle with daily. I need to make sure that my words are not two edged swords and that I'm not easily given to such things as name calling.
