This is the story of what God was doing with His people. He was giving
them the land he had promised to them. Joshua was to be the leader of
God's people. Joshua’s strength came from the Lord: “Be strong and
courageous! ...The Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua
1:9).
The report of the spies - “The Lord has given us the whole country”
(Joshua 2:24) - emphasizes that God is in control. God is working out
His purpose, His perfect purpose, His purpose of love.
It is important to remember this. Without this understanding of the
events recorded in the book of Joshua, we will lose our way and fail to
see what relevance these events have for us. From these events, we
learn that our strength comes from the Lord, who does great things for
us because He loves us with a perfect love.
