Promise and Provision | Week 12

The question before us centers on why we should care about these narratives in Joshua. Aren’t they just bedtime stories we read to our children? 1 Corinthians 10:11 tells us why the historical books in both the Old Testament and New Testament are so important. “Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction.” The narratives that we read are all lessons that we are to learn from those who went before us. As we read about the victories of God’s people, our faith is increased knowing that God will do the same for us. He will give us victory over our enemies.
