After the death of Moses the servant of God, God spoke to

Joshua, Moses’ assistant: “Moses my servant is dead. Get going. Cross this Jordan

River, you and all the people.

Cross to the country I’m giving to the People of Israel. I’m

giving you every square inch of the land you set your foot

on—just as I promised Moses.

From the wilderness and this Lebanon east to the Great

River, the Euphrates River—all the Hittite country—and then west to the Great Sea. It’s all

yours. All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you.

In the same way I was with Moses, I’ll be with you. I won’t give up on you; I won’t leave you. Strength! Courage! You

are going to lead this people to inherit the land that I promised

to give their ancestors.

Give it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry out

The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it. Don’t get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get

to where you’re going.

And don’t for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it.

Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed.

Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged.

God, your God, is with you every step you take.”

Joshua 1:1-9 (The Message)
