From Joshua 1-3:
1. Wow! Joshua gets extended a very handsome promise. God said he will be with Joshua all the days of his life and anywhere he sets foot will become the property of the Israelites. No conditions attached. Although he does say he needs to be careful to obey the law in order to be successful. So I guess it is implied conditions.
2. Rahab was a very wise woman. She converted to follow the God of Israel there when the spies were present. She did this by acknowledging that the God of the Israelites was God of heaven above and earth below.
3. The waters piled up! - It is amazing how the Lord stopped up the Jordan. Since I pass over the Ohio River almost every day, I can easily imagine the Jordan River. However, I have trouble imagining the water stopping and piling up somewhere. That is a whole lot of water!!!
4. I like how Joshua states that when they see what God does with the Jordan River, it shows them that He will be with them as they conquer the nations living within Canaan. He does not give any credit to himself. Very nice!
