JOSHUA & EPHESIANS
24 Lessons by Pearl Hamilton
You know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good words which the Lord your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed. Joshua 23:14
Moses had led Israel up to the border of the Promised Land, but it was his right hand man and successor, Joshua, who led them in. Joshua is the book of the conquest of Canaan and the settlement of the people in the land. Every battle and every success is a testimony to God’s faithfulness in keeping His promises to His people. The people, under Joshua’s faithful leadership proved faithful also, exhibiting that truly, “Faith is the victory that overcomes the world” (John H. Yates).
Paul’s letter to the Ephesians follows Judges as a New Testament call to faith. Ephesians reminds us of our many spiritual blessings in Christ and calls us to respond with faith.
