Joshua 10:1-12:6. “Lessons Learned”
Joshua’s list of conquests is quite impressive. But as you read the list you see they were truly God’s conquests. Time and again you read of how “the LORD fought for Israel.”
The land was promised for Israel, but the inhabitants chose to stay and fight. God brought judgment on the wicked and fought for His chosen. Eventually, “the land finally had rest from war” (11:23).
The primary reason things went well for Israel was because “Joshua did as he was told, carefully obeying all of the LORD’s instructions” (11:15).
Aside from the lessons of obedience there are other things for us to recap. Often times Joshua and Israel made memorials to the LORD. We regularly need reminding of certain things. This passage reminds us of the facts that, only with God’s help do we win our battles; God is our protection and refuge; God’s chosen will ultimately win; God has plans for us which are for “good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope” (Jer. 29:11).
