Joshua 1:1-18

Key Verse 1:6

1. Read v. 1. What does the expression "Moses' aide" suggest to us about one of the secrets behind Joshua's great success in leading the flock into the Promised Land? 

2. Read v. 2. In what respect is the call to "get ready to cross the Jordan River" challenging to Joshua and all the rest? Yet why was this task necessary for them (cf. Eph 4:15)? 

3. Memorize v. 3. What does the expression "you set 'your' foot" tell us about the way to claim the promises the Lord God gives to his children (cf. Mat 11:12; Mar 9:23)? 

4. Read v. 4. Who occupied the "territory" (cf. Deu 7:1; Num 14:43)? Yet why do you think the Lord God promised to give the land to the Israelites (cf. Exodus 17:11; Deu 20:18; Col 3:5)? 

5. Read vs. 5-9 and describe the promises and charges the Lord gave to Joshua. How are they related to one another? What does this passage teach us about the key secret to a fruitful year? 

6. Read vs. 10-11. What can we learn from the following commands that General Joshua issued? 1) Get 'your' supplies ready; and 2) Go in and take possession of the land...for your own? 

7. Read vs. 12-18. Why did Joshua put these tribes on the front line (cf. Numbers 32:7)?
