Week 4: Bible Week 4 (Nov 8-12)

Monday: The Battle of Jericho: Joshua 5: 13- 6: 27 Joshua met a man and he was teh commander of the army of the Lord he told Joshua to take off his sandals becasue where he was standing was Holy. God them to march around the city for 6days, on the 7th day, march around the city 7times. When you hear the the priests sound a long blast on the trumpets, the army shall give a loud shout and the wall of the city will collapse and teh army will go up. They did just that and took city.  They devoted the city adn destroyed everything and everyone. They took Rebah and her family and placed them in a place outside the camp of Israel. They burned the whole city and everything in it. The Lord was with Joshua and his fame spreaded through the land.


Tuesday: Ultimate Consequences: Joshua 7:1-26 The Israelites were unfaithful and Lord's anger burned against Isreal. Joshua is telling some men to go any spy out Ali. He reported that they only needed 2 or 3 thousand soldiers b/c only a few people live there. So about 3 thousand went up, the men of Ali killed about 36 of them. They chased teh Isrealites from the city gate as far as teh stone quarries and stuck them down on teh slopes. Joshua said the Canaanites and other people of the counrty would hear about this a surround them and wipe their name from earth. Isreal had sinned so they got punnishes. Nesxt morning, Joshua had Isreal coem forward by tribes. All of Isreal stoned Achan and burned them. I have experienced a negaitve experience when I had to go on a new basketball team.

Wesnesday: The Longest Day: Joshua 10:1-15 Joshua asked God to make the sun stay still. God listened to him and God had never done that for any other human. God is so powerful. We'll never know what God is capable of because our human nature cant understand it. I know God is powerful, He does wonderful things everyday to people and for people.

Thursday: Joshua Warns the Leaders: Joshua 23: 1-16God had given rest to the Israelites and Joshua was old. Joshua was telling the Isrealites everything that God had done for them and he told them God was there since the beginning. Joshua told the Isrealties to be strong. I need to obey being strong. The devil can temp us to do bad things, but if you be strong and trust in the Lord, everything will be okay and work out. I try to be strong all the time because I know God has a purpose for me, and it's not being a slave to sin. If I be strong, I know I will have a great reward in the end.

Friday: Joshua's Last Words: Joshua 24: 1- 31:Joshua gathered the tribes of Isreal. Joshua told them about all God has done for them. Ho told them to love the Lord and get rid of the false gods. They decied they would worship the Lord. After Joshua talked to them, he died at 110 years old. You can look at the outcome of obeying God and decide if it was good or bad, and deiced what outcome you want.
