Joshua 1-4, Psalm 70

About this episode

The episode discusses Joshua's leadership as Israel crosses the Jordan into the promised land after Moses' death.

Moses has died, leaving Israel with a new legacy, a new Law, and a new leader. Before Moses’ death, the Lord appointed Joshua to lead and blessed Him. Today, Joshua takes charge over Israel and leads them over the Jordan and into the land of promise. You may recall that Joshua has seen the land already, as Moses sent him with other men to spy out the land, and that he and Caleb were the only two spies who trusted in the Lord to deliver them through battle. This same Joshua is now in charge and when the entire nation of Israel crosses the Jordan after 40 years of wandering and waiting, they rejoice and set up memorial stones to mark the occasion.
